Spinar Paradigm and Gamma Ray Bursts Central Engine
A spinar is a quasi-equilibrium collapsing object whose equilibrium is
maintained by the balance of centrifugal and gravitational forces and whose
evolution is determined by its magnetic field. The spinar quasi equilibrium
model recently discussed as the course for extralong X-ray plateu in GRB
(Lipunov & Gorbovskoy, 2007). We propose a simple non stationary
three-parameter collapse model with the determining role of rotation and
magnetic field in this paper. The input parameters of the theory are the mass,
angular momentum, and magnetic field of the collapsar. The model includes
approximate description of the following effects: centrifugal force,
relativistic effects of the Kerr metrics, pressure of nuclear matter,
dissipation of angular momentum due to magnetic field, decrease of the dipole
magnetic moment due to compression and general-relativity effects (the black
hole has no hare), neutrino cooling, time dilatation, and gravitational
redshift. The model describes the temporal behavior of the central engine and
demonstrates the qualitative variety of the types of such behavior in nature.
We apply our approach to explain the observed features of gamma-ray bursts of
all types. In particular, the model allows the phenomena of precursors, x-ray
and optical bursts, and the appearance of a plateau on time scales of several
thousand seconds to be unified.Comment: 17 pages, 16-figures, MNRAS in prin
THE DYNAMCS OF ALLERGIC DISEASES SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN IN IRKUTSK CITY DURING THE 10 YEARS PERIOD
Epidemiological study of allergic rhinitis symptoms frequency was undertaken on ISAAC program in children 7-8 years and 13-14 years in Irkutsk city in 1998-1999 and 2008-2009. According to the results of the study, the frequency of symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis among schoolchildren, has increased during 10 years period. The high degree of combination of asthma and rhinitis was observed
Optical polarimetry of the blazar CGRaBS~ J0211+1051 from MIRO
We report the detection of high polarization in the first detailed optical
linear polarization measurements on the BL Lac object CGRaBS J0211+1051, which
flared in -rays on 2011 January 23 as reported by Fermi. The
observations were made during 2011 January 30 - February 3 using
photo-polarimeter mounted at the 1.2m telescope of Mt Abu InfraRed
Observatory(MIRO). The CGRaBS J0211+1051 was detected to have degree of polarization (DP) with steady position angle (PA) at
43 on 2011 January 30. During Jan 31 and Feb 1, while polarization
shows some variation, position angle remains steady for the night. Several
olarization flashes occurred during February 2 and 3 resulting in changes in
the DP by more than 4% at short time scales ( 17 to 45 mins). A mild
increase in the linear polarization with frequency is noticed during the nights
of February 2 & 3. The source exhibited significant inter-night variations in
the degree of polarization (changed by about 2 to 9%) and position angle
(changed by 2 to 22) during the five nights of observations. The
intra-night activity shown by the source appears to be related to turbulence in
the relativistic jet. Sudden change in the PA accompanied by a rise in the DP
could be indicative of the fresh injection of electrons in the jet. The
detection of high and variable degree of polarization categorizes the source as
low energy peaked blazar.Comment: 14-pages including 3-figure
MASTER prompt and follow-up GRB observations
There are the results of gamma-ray bursts observations obtained using the
MASTER robotic telescope in 2007 - 2009. We observed 20 error-boxes of
gamma-ray bursts this period.The limits on their optical brightnesses have been
derived. There are 5 prompt observations among them, obtained at our very wide
field cameras. Also we present the results of the earliest observations of the
optical emission of the gamma-ray bursts GRB 050824 and GRB 060926.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
