Abstract

We summarize a new model that explains the high-energy (photon energies of gigaelectronvolts – GeV) observed in the energetic long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The model shows that the gravitomagnetic interaction of a Kerr black hole (BH) with a surrounding magnetic field generates GeV radiation in the vicinity of the BH event horizon extracting the (rotational) energy of the BH.
