Gamma Ray Bursts as Death of Magnetized Neutron Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We propose magnetic cannon ball mechanism in which the collapse of a magnetosphere onto a black hole can generate strong outward Poynting flux which can drive a baryon-free fireball. This process can occur at the final collapsing phase of a neutron star with strong magnetic field. The magnetic cannon ball can drive a relativistic outflow without the rotation of the central object. This baryon-free process can explain gamma-ray bursts as the final phase of dead pulsars.
