Gamma-Ray Bursts
read the original abstract
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after their discovery, and after pioneering breakthroughs from space and ground experiments, their study is entering a new phase with the recently launched Swift satellite. The interplay between these observations and theoretical models of the prompt gamma ray burst and its afterglow is reviewed.

Ultra high-energy cosmic rays from relativistic outflows in accretion induced collapse of white dwarfs
Relativistic outflows in accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs are modeled as sources of UHECRs, contributing a few 10^43-10^45 erg Mpc^{-3} yr^{-1} assuming iron-like nuclei and sufficient event rates.

Magnetic reconnection in five-dimensional Kerr black hole
Magnetic reconnection enables higher energy extraction efficiency from singly-rotating five-dimensional Kerr black holes than from doubly-rotating ones and can exceed the Blandford-Znajek process in the single-rotation case.
