Plasma Structures Associated with Binaries of Collapsed Objects, Magneto-gravitational Modes and Ballooning Mode-particle Interactions

Binaries involving collapsed objects such as black holes when approaching their final merger produce an oscillatory component of the relevant gravitational potential with (orbiting) frequencies that are relatively high. Assuming that these binaries are immersed in a coherent magnetized plasma structure, magneto-gravitational modes of the ballooning type [1] are shown to be sustainable in it when their frequencies equal the (orbiting) frequencies of the gravitational potential. These ballooning modes are treated as a superposition of oppositely travelling waves along the magnetic field, with relativistic phase velocities. Thus high energy electron populations can be produced by the relevant mode-particle interactions and a consistent theoretical frame to create high energy particles capable of generating detectable electromagnetic radiation can be formulated. On this basis the prediction [2] that the final merger of two collapsed object should be preceded by precursors [3] of high energy radiation emission can be expected to be verifiable in future detected events.
