Neutron Star-Magnetic Field-Gamma-Ray Burst

Scientific paper

We propose a new model of gamma-ray burst based on the assumption that the burst source is an old neutron star. We assume that there are two magnetic fields on the neutron star surface, one is the weak global dipole field, the other is strong localized magnetic loops. Using this model we can explain both the absorption features and the high-energy tail in the γ-ray burst spectrum. We calculated the Compton scattering cross section for a field of 1.7 × 1012 G and found the parameter Λ (the product of the electron density and the diameter of the magnetic loops) to be about 1021 cm-2.
