Abstract

Rotating black holes can power the most extreme non-thermal transient sources. They have a long-duration viscous time-scale of spin-down and produce non-thermal emissions along their spin-axis, powered by a relativistic capillary effect. We report on the discovery of exponential decay in BATSE light curves of long GRBs by matched filtering, consistent with a viscous time-scale, and identify UHECRs energies about the GZK threshold in linear acceleration of ion contaminants along the black hole spin-axis, consistent with black hole masses and lifetimes of FR II AGN. We explain the absence of UHECRs from BL Lac objects due to UHECR emissions preferably at appreciable angles away from the black hole spin-axis. Black hole spin may be key to unification of GRBs and their host environments, and to AGN and their host galaxies. Our model points to long duration bursts in radio from long GRBs without supernovae and gravitational-waves from all long GRBs.
