Information AboutCollapsar |
|
It is believed that collapsars are the cause of long (> 2 seconds) Gamma-ray Bursts , since powerful energy jets would be created along the rotation axis of the Black Hole , creating a burst of high-energy radiation to an observer whose line of sight is along the jet. A possible example of a collapsar is the Supernova Sn1998bw , which was associated with the Gamma-ray Burst GRB980425 . This was classified as a Type Ic supernova due to its unusual spectral properties in the Radio spectrum, indicating the presence of Relativistic matter. However, it should be noted that Sn1998bw was an unusual supernova, and that GRB980425 was an unusual gamma-ray burst. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
