Ultra-hard fluid and scalar field in the Kerr-Newman metric
An analytic solution for the accretion of ultra-hard perfect fluid onto a
moving Kerr-Newman black hole is found. This solution is a generalization of
the previously known solution by Petrich, Shapiro and Teukolsky for a Kerr
black hole. Our solution is not applicable for an extreme black hole due to
violation of the test fluid approximation. We also present a stationary
solution for a massless scalar field in the metric of a Kerr-Newman naked
singularity.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, revtex4; v2: presentation improved, figures

Swift J164449.3+573451 event: generation in the collapsing star cluster?
We discuss the multiband energy release in a model of a collapsing galactic
nucleus, and we try to interpret the unique super-long cosmic gamma-ray event
Swift J164449.3+573451 (GRB 110328A by early classification) in this scenario.
Neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes can form evolutionary a compact
self-gravitating subsystem in the galactic center. Collisions and merges of
these stellar remnants during an avalanche contraction and collapse of the
cluster core can produce powerful events in different bands due to several
mechanisms. Collisions of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes can
generate gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) similar to the ordinary models of short GRB
origin. The bright peaks during the first two days may also be a consequence of
multiple matter supply (due to matter release in the collisions) and accretion
onto the forming supermassive black hole. Numerous smaller peaks and later
quasi-steady radiation can arise from gravitational lensing, late accretion of
gas onto the supermassive black hole, and from particle acceleration by shock
waves. Even if this model will not reproduce exactly all the Swift
J164449.3+573451 properties in future observations, such collapses of galactic
nuclei can be available for detection in other events.Comment: 7 pages, replaced by the final versio
Supernovae - Optical Precursors of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
The probability of observing "supernova - gamma-ray burst" (GRB) pair events
and recurrent GRBs from one galaxy in a time interval of several years has been
estimated. Supernova explosions in binary systems accompanied by the formation
of a short-lived pair of compact objects can be the sources of such events. If
a short GRB is generated during the collision of a pair, then approximately
each of ~300 short GRBs with redshift z must have an optical precursor - a
supernova in the observer's time interval <2(1+z)yr. If the supernova explosion
has the pattern of a hypernova, then a successive observation of long and short
GRBs is possible. The scenario for the generation of multiple GRBs in
collapsing galactic nuclei is also discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure; this paper has the e-precursor arXiv:1101.3298

Dark energy cosmology with generalized linear equation of state
Dark energy with the usually used equation of state , where
is hydrodynamically unstable. To overcome this drawback we consider
the cosmology of a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state of a more
general form , where the constants and
are free parameters. This non-homogeneous linear equation of state provides the
description of both hydrodynamically stable () and unstable
() fluids. In particular, the considered cosmological model describes
the hydrodynamically stable dark (and phantom) energy. The possible types of
cosmological scenarios in this model are determined and classified in terms of
attractors and unstable points by the using of phase trajectories analysis. For
the dark energy case there are possible some distinctive types of cosmological
scenarios: (i) the universe with the de Sitter attractor at late times, (ii)
the bouncing universe, (iii) the universe with the Big Rip and with the
anti-Big Rip. In the framework of a linear equation of state the universe
filled with an phantom energy, , may have either the de Sitter attractor
or the Big Rip.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures, typos corrected, references adde
Coupled dark energy: Towards a general description of the dynamics
In dark energy models of scalar-field coupled to a barotropic perfect fluid,
the existence of cosmological scaling solutions restricts the Lagrangian of the
field \vp to p=X g(Xe^{\lambda \vp}), where X=-g^{\mu\nu} \partial_\mu \vp
\partial_\nu \vp /2, is a constant and is an arbitrary function.
We derive general evolution equations in an autonomous form for this Lagrangian
and investigate the stability of fixed points for several different dark energy
models--(i) ordinary (phantom) field, (ii) dilatonic ghost condensate, and
(iii) (phantom) tachyon. We find the existence of scalar-field dominant fixed
points (\Omega_\vp=1) with an accelerated expansion in all models
irrespective of the presence of the coupling between dark energy and dark
matter. These fixed points are always classically stable for a phantom field,
implying that the universe is eventually dominated by the energy density of a
scalar field if phantom is responsible for dark energy. When the equation of
state w_\vp for the field \vp is larger than -1, we find that scaling
solutions are stable if the scalar-field dominant solution is unstable, and
vice versa. Therefore in this case the final attractor is either a scaling
solution with constant \Omega_\vp satisfying 0<\Omega_\vp<1 or a
scalar-field dominant solution with \Omega_\vp=1.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures; minor clarifications added, typos corrected and
