ARE GRBS THE MOST VIOLENT EVENTS IN THE UNIVERSE?
abstract
Considering a GRB event as a relativistic flux where the relativistic beam makes radiation become anisotropic, we are able to show that the required intrinsic energy associated with these events is significantly smaller than those values commonly presented in literature. Our results show energy values around 1044 ergs for Lorentz Γ factor ∼10 and around 1038 ergs for Γ∼300, values which are more compatible with energies involved in AGN events rather than those related to the formation of stellar black holes and hypernovas.
