(Shortened) CONTEXT: [...] AIMS: Motivated by the relation proposed by Amati and collaborators, we look within the ``fireshell model for a relation between the peak energy E_p of the u F_ u total time-integrated spectrum of the afterglow and the total energy of the afterglow E_{aft}, which in our model encompasses and extends the prompt emission. METODS: [...] Within the fireshell model [...] We can then build two sets of ``gedanken GRBs varying the total energy of the electron-positron plasma E^{e^pm}_{tot} and keeping the same baryon loading B of GRB050315. The first set assumes for the effective CBM density the one obtained in the fit of GRB050315. The second set assumes instead a constant CBM density equal to the average value of the GRB050315 prompt phase. RESULTS: For the first set of ``gedanken GRBs we find a relation E_ppropto (E_{aft})^a, with a = 0.45 pm 0.01, whose slope strictly agrees with the Amati one. Such a relation, in the limit B to 10^{-2}, coincides with the Amati one. Instead, in the second set of ``gedanken GRBs no correlation is found. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis excludes the Proper-GRB (P-GRB) from the prompt emission, extends all the way to the latest afterglow phases and is independent on the assumed cosmological model, since all ``gedanken GRBs are at the same redshift. The Amati relation, on the other hand, includes also the P-GRB, focuses on the prompt emission only, and is therefore influenced by the instrumental threshold which fixes the end of the prompt emission, and depends on the assumed cosmology. This may well explain the intrinsic scatter observed in the Amati relation.

The statistical properties of a complete, flux limited sample of 197 long gamma--ray bursts (GRBs) detected by BATSE are studied. In order to bring forth their main characteristics, care was taken to define a representative set of ten parameters. A m ultivariate analysis gives that ~70% of the total variation in parameter values is driven by only three principal components. The variation of the temporal parameters is clearly distinct from that of the spectral ones. A close correlation is found between the half-width of the autocorrelation function (tau) and the emission time (Tem); most importantly, this correlation is self-similar in the sense that the mean values and dispersions of both tau and Tem scale with the duration of the burst (T90). It is shown that the Amati-relation can be derived from the sample and that the scatter around this relation is correlated with the value of tau. Hence, tau has a role similar to that of the break in the afterglow light curve (Tb) in the Ghirlanda-relation. In the standard GRB-scenario, the close relation between a global parameter (Tb) and a local one (tau) indicates that some of the jet-properties do not vary much for different lines of sight. Finally, it is argued that the basic temporal and spectral properties are associated with individual pulses, while the overall properties of a burst is determined mainly by the number of pulses.
We study the cosmic velocity-density relation using the spherical collapse model (SCM) as a proxy to non-linear dynamics. Although the dependence of this relation on cosmological parameters is known to be weak, we retain the density parameter Omega_m in SCM equations, in order to study the limit Omega_m -> 0. We show that in this regime the considered relation is strictly linear, for arbitrary values of the density contrast, on the contrary to some claims in the literature. On the other hand, we confirm that for realistic values of Omega_m the exact relation in the SCM is well approximated by the classic formula of Bernardeau (1992), both for voids (delta<0) and for overdensities up to delta ~ 3. Inspired by this fact, we find further analytic approximations to the relation for the whole range delta from -1 to infinity. Our formula for voids accounts for the weak Omega_m-dependence of their maximal rate of expansion, which for Omega_m < 1 is slightly smaller that 3/2. For positive density contrasts, we find a simple relation div v = 3 H_0 (Omega_m)^(0.6) [ (1+delta)^(1/6) - (1+delta)^(1/2) ], that works very well up to the turn-around (i.e. up to delta ~ 13.5 for Omega_m = 0.25 and neglected Omega_Lambda). Having the same second-order expansion as the formula of Bernardeau, it can be regarded as an extension of the latter for higher density contrasts. Moreover, it gives a better fit to results of cosmological numerical simulations.
In this paper, we select a sample including 141 BEST time-integrated F spectra and 145 BEST peak flux P spectra observed by the Konus-Wind with known redshift to recheck the connection between the spectral width and $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$. We define six types of absolute spectral widths. It is found that all of the rest-frame absolute spectral widths are strongly positive correlated with $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$ for the long burst for both the F and P spectra. All of the short bursts are the outliers for width-$E_{iso}$ relation and most of the short bursts are consistent with the long bursts for the width-$L_{iso}$ relation for both F and P spectra. Moreover, all of the location energy, $E_{2}$ and $E_{1}$, corresponding to various spectral widths are also positive correlated with $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$. We compare all of the relations with the Amati and Yonetoku relations and find the width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations when the widths are at about 90% maximum of the $EF_{E}$ spectra almost overlap with Amati relation and Yonetoku relation, respectively. The correlations of $E_{2}-E_{iso}$, $E_{1}-E_{iso}$ and $E_{2}-L_{iso}$, $E_{1}-L_{iso}$ when the location energies are at 99% maximum of the $EF_{E}$ spectra are very close to the Amati and Yonetoku relations, respectively. Therefore, we confirm the existence of tight width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations for long bursts. We further show that the spectral shape is indeed related to $E_{iso}$ and $L_{iso}$. The Amati and Yonetoku relations are not necessarily the best relationships to relate the energy to the $E_{iso}$ and $L_{iso}$. They may be the special cases of the width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations or the energy-$E_{iso}$ and energy-$L_{iso}$ relations.
Starting from the luminosity-redshift relation recently given up to second order in the Poisson gauge, we calculate the effects of the realistic stochastic background of perturbations of the so-called concordance model on the combined light-cone and ensemble average of various functions of the luminosity distance, and on their variance, as functions of redshift. We apply a gauge-invariant light-cone averaging prescription which is free from infrared and ultraviolet divergences, making our results robust with respect to changes of the corresponding cutoffs. Our main conclusions, in part already anticipated in a recent letter for the case of a perturbation spectrum computed in the linear regime, are that such inhomogeneities not only cannot avoid the need for dark energy, but also cannot prevent, in principle, the determination of its parameters down to an accuracy of order $10^{-3}-10^{-5}$, depending on the averaged observable and on the regime considered for the power spectrum. However, taking into account the appropriate corrections arising in the non-linear regime, we predict an irreducible scatter of the data approaching the 10% level which, for limited statistics, will necessarily limit the attainable precision. The predicted dispersion appears to be in good agreement with current observational estimates of the distance-modulus variance due to Doppler and lensing effects (at low and high redshifts, respectively), and represents a challenge for future precision measurements.
The Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) is one of the most robust and widely employed results from the theory of liquids. Yet sizable deviations can be observed for self-solvation, which cannot be explained by the standard hydrodynamic derivation. Here, w e revisit the work of Masters and Madden [J. Chem. Phys. 74, 2450-2459 (1981)], who first solved a statistical mechanics model of the SER using the projection operator formalism. By generalizing their analysis to all spatial dimensions and to partially structured solvents, we identify a potential microscopic origin of some of these deviations. We also reproduce the SER-like result from the exact dynamics of infinite-dimensional fluids.
