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…
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…
Gamma-Ray Bursts, Cosmic-Rays and Neutrinos
E. Waxman
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) model for production of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) is based on the hypothesis that GRBs arise from the dissipation of the kinetic energy of re…
Dust sublimation by GRBs and its implications
E. Waxman, B. T. Draine
The prompt optical flash recently detected accompanying GRB990123 suggests that, for at least some GRBs, gamma-ray emission is accompanied by prompt optical-UV emission with lumino…
