This has also been proposed independently by Milgrom and Usov and by Vietri. However, recent observations of GRBs and their afterglows and in particular recent data from the Akeno Great Air Shwoer Array (AGASA) on UHECR rule out extragalactic GRBs as the source of UHECR.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-11-12T11:54:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cosmological gamma ray bursts", "highest energy cosmic rays", "akeno great air shwoer array", "ultra high energy cosmic rays" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
