A Possible Origin of Gamma Ray Bursts and Axionic Boson Stars

Astrophysics 2009-10-31 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We indicate a possible mechanism of generating gamma ray bursts. They are generated by a collision between an axionic boson star and a neutron star. The axionic boson star can dissipates its whole energy 105010^{50} erg in the magnetized conducting medium of the neutron star. This dissipation arises only around envelope of the neutron star so that a fire ball with small baryon contamination is expected. We have evaluated roughly a rate of the collision per year and per galaxy which is consistent with observations, under plausible assumptions. We also point out that cosmic rays with extremely high energy, 102110^{21}eV, can be produced in the similar collisions with the neutron stars with strong magnetic fields 1014\sim 10^{14}G.
