51 Summary Explosion Mechanism & Gamma-Ray Emission Mechanism of Long GRBs are Unkown (as well as Short GRBs) However, It was shown numerically that a rapidly-rotating black hole formed in a massive star with strong B-fields drives a Jet. It was shown numerically that more energetic jets are driven by more rapidly-rotating black holes. Time variabilities of the central engine may be the origin of time variabilities of GRBs. Also, Rotating BH with Strong B-Fields Looks Promising! Superposition of Thermal Spectrum & Bulk Inverse-Compton can Reproduce the Spectrum of GRBs very well. Multi-Component Jets in Prompt Emissions is Naturally Generated due to RT Instabilities. Yonetoku-Relation is well Reproduced (Evidence of Photospheric Emission Mechanism). Photospheric Model Looks Promising!
