The electromagnetic model of gamma-ray bursts
The electromagnetic model (EMM) of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and a contrast of its main properties and predictions with the hydrodynamic fireball model (FBM) and its magnetohydrodynamical extension are described. The EMM assumes that rotational energy of a relativistic, stellar-mass central source (black holeā€“accretion disk system or fast rotating neutron star) ā€¦
