Jets Driven by Accretion Onto Spinning Black Holes

Ioana Dutan, Peter L. Biermann

We present a theoretical model for driving jets by accretion onto Kerr black holes and try to give an answer to the following question: How much energy could be extracted from a ro…

The Efficiency of Using Accretion Power of Kerr Black Holes

Ioana Dutan, Peter Biermann

The efficiency of a rapidly spinning Kerr black hole to turn accretion power into observable power can attain 32 percent for the photon emission from the disk, as is well known, fo…

Sources of Cosmic Rays and Galactic Diffuse Gamma Radiation

Sabrina Casanova, Peter L. Biermann, Ralph Engel +2

The diffuse galactic gamma-ray spectrum measured by the EGRET experiment \citep{Hunter:1997} are interpreted within a scenario in which cosmic rays (CRs) are injected by three diff…

Origin of Cosmic Magnetic Fields

Peter L. Biermann, Cristina F. Galea

We propose that the overlapping shock fronts from young supernova remnants produce a locally unsteady, but globally steady large scale spiral shock front in spiral galaxies, where…

Cosmic Rays from PeV to ZeV, Stellar Evolution, Supernova Physics and Gamma Ray Bursts

Peter L. Biermann, Sergej Moiseenko, Samvel Ter-Antonyan +1

The recent success of a proposal from some time ago to explain the spectrum of cosmic rays allows some strong conclusions to be made on the physics of supernovae: In the context of…
