GRBs and the Ghost of the Fireball

preprint2002arXivOpen access

Abstract

Gamma Ray Burst has been widely believed in last decade to be super-explosions: the Fireball. We are argue on the contrary that GRBs (as well as Soft Gamma Repeaters SGR) are precessing Gamma Jets. We remind the list of contradiction that Fireball and its smaller galactic version, the Magnetar, have to face. In particular the existence of weak isolated X-ray precursor signal before the main Gamma Ray Burst and (rare SGR) events disagree with any explosive, one shoot, scenarios either isotropic or wide-beamed. We interpret them as earlier marginal blazing of outlying X conical Jet tails of precessing, spinning gamma Jet.
