Testing large-scale (an)isotropy of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov
We present a simple yet powerful method to test models of cosmic-ray (CR) origin using the distribution of CR arrival directions. The method is statistically unambiguous in the sen…
Neutrino production in nucleonic interactions in gamma-ray bursters
Hylke B. J. Koers
Neutrinos produced in gamma-ray bursters (GRBers) may provide a unique probe for the physics of these extreme astrophysical systems. Here we discuss neutrino production in inelasti…
On the relation between the neutrino flux from Centaurus A and the associated diffuse neutrino flux
Hylke B. J. Koers, Peter Tinyakov
Based on recent results obtained by the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO), it has been hypothesized that Centaurus A (Cen A) is a source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and…
Enhanced high-energy neutrino emission from choked gamma-ray bursts due to meson and muon acceleration
Hylke B. J. Koers, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
It has been suggested that a potentially large fraction of supernovae could be accompanied by relativistic outflows that stall below the stellar surface. In this letter we point ou…
Neutron-rich gamma-ray burst flows: dynamics and particle creation in neutron - proton collisions
Hylke B. J. Koers, Dimitrios Giannios
We consider gamma-ray burst outflows with a substantial neutron component that are either dominated by thermal energy (fireballs) or by magnetic energy. In the latter case, we focu…
Thermal neutrinos from hot GRB fireballs
Hylke B. J. Koers, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
We consider the physics of neutrinos in a fireball, i.e. a tightly coupled plasma of photons, positrons and electrons. Such a fireball is believed to form in the first stages of a…
