High energy cosmic ray and neutrino astronomy
E. Waxman
Cosmic-rays with energies exceeding 10^{19} eV are referred to as Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). The sources of these particles and their acceleration mechanism are unknow…
High energy cosmic-rays: puzzles, models, and giga-ton neutrino telescopes
E. Waxman
The existence of cosmic rays of energies exceeding 10^20 eV is one of the mysteries of high energy astrophysics. The spectrum and the high energy to which it extends rule out almos…
Collapsar Uncorking and Jet Eruption in GRB
E. Waxman, P. Meszaros
We show that the collapsar model of gamma-ray bursts results in a series of successive shocks and rarefaction waves propagating in the "cork" of stellar material being pushed ahead…
Probing Micro-quasars with TeV Neutrinos
Amir Levinson, Eli Waxman
The jets associated with Galactic micro-quasars are believed to be ejected by accreting stellar mass black-holes or neutron stars. We show that if the energy content of the jets in…
The X-ray afterglow of GRB000926 observed by BeppoSAX and Chandra: a mildly collimated fireball in a dense medium ?
L. Piro, G. Garmire, M. R. Garcia +8
We present X-ray observations of the afterglow of GRB000926 performed around and after the break observed in the optical light curve two days after the burst. The steep X-ray light…
On the Neutrino Flux from Gamma-Ray Bursts
D. Guetta, M. Spada, E. Waxman
Observations imply that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the dissipation of the kinetic energy of a highly relativistic fireball. Photo-meson interactions of protons with ga…
