Energy Extraction from a Kerr Black Hole - An Ultimate Power Source in the Universe?
Amir Levinson
It is widely believed that some classes of high-energy transients may be powered by the rotational energy of a rapidly spinning black hole. The energy extraction mechanism commonly…
TeV Neutrinos from Galactic Microquasar Jets
D. Guetta, C. Distefano, A. Levinson +1
We discuss the possibility that microquasar jets may be powerful emitters of TeV neutrinos. We estimate the neutrino fluxes produced by photopion production in the jets of a sample…
Emission and Structure of Compact Fireballs
Amir Levinson
The possibility that the peak of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of prompt GRB emission is produced on compact scales, prior to the acceleration of the fireball to its termi…
UHECR Production by a Compact Black-Hole Dynamo: Application to Sgr A*
Amir Levinson, Elihu Boldt
The possibility that the excess cosmic ray (CR) flux near 10 eV, reported recently by the AGASA group, is due to a compact black hole dynamo associated with the Sgr A* sourc…
TeV Emission by Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays in Nearby, Dormant AGNs
Amir Levinson
The curvature radiation produced by particles accelerating near the event horizon of a spinning supermassive black hole, threaded by externally supported magnetic field lines is co…
Variability Models of Gamma-Ray Blazars
Amir Levinson
A large fraction of the AGNs detected by EGRET exhibit strong variability in many wavebands- from radio to the highest energy gamma-rays observed. The origin of the transient emiss…
