Identifying Black Hole Central Engines in Gamma-Ray Bursts

The nature of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) central engine still remains an enigma. Entities widely believed to be capable of powering the extreme jets are magnetars and black holes. The maximum rotational energy that is available in a millisecond magnetar to form a jet is ∼10 52 erg. We identify eight...
