Are GRB 090423 and Similar bursts due to Superconducting Cosmic strings?
Abstract
Superconducting cosmic strings may be able to power energetic gamma-ray bursts, in particular at high-redshifts (z>6). The ultra-relativistic outflows driven by the superconducting cosmic strings, however, seem too narrow to be consistent with the afterglow data of GRB 090423 and GRB 080913.
