The uniqueness of the Kerr-Newman black hole implies that very different processes originating from the gravitational collapse a) of a single star in a binary system induced by the companion, or b) of two neutron stars, or c) of a neutron star and a white dwarf, do lead to the same structure for the observed GRB. The recent progress of the numerical integration of the relativistic Boltzmann equations with collision integrals including 2-body and 3-body interactions between the particles offer a powerful conceptual tool in order to differentiate the traditional \"fireball\" picture, an expanding hot cavity considered by Cavallo and Rees, as opposed to the \"fireshell\" model, composed of an internally cold shell of relativistically expanding electron-positron-baryon plasma. The analysis of the fireshell naturally leads to a canonical GRB composed of a proper-GRB and an extended afterglow. By recalling the three interpretational paradigms for GRBs we show how the fireshell model leads to an understanding of the GRB structure and to an alternative classification of short and long GRBs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-01-12T11:00:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.70.Rz", "98.80.-k", "98.62.Js" ], "keywords": [ "canonical gamma-ray bursts", "short bursts", "gravitational collapse", "kerr-newman black hole implies", "neutron star" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
