Magnetically powered prompt radiation and flow acceleration in GRB
H. C. Spruit, G. Drenkhahn
The physics of GRB powered by a magnetic energy flux is reviewed. Magnetic fields are natural for transmitting the energy from the central compact object to the small amount of bar…

Correlated X-ray and optical variability in KV UMa
H. C. Spruit, G. Kanbach
We present coordinated X-ray and optical observations of the X-ray transient KV UMa (= XTE J1118+480) at high time resolution. The optical variation associated with spikes in the X…

Differential rotation and magnetic fields in stellar interiors
H. C. Spruit
The processes contributing to the evolution of an initially weak magnetic field in a differentially rotating star are reviewed. These include rotational smoothing (akin to convecti…
