| dc.description | We estimate that the vacuum electric field associated with a spinning Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object MECO (www.phys.uni-sofia.bg/~astro/abbrev.html) could be higher by a factor of ~ 10^4 than the corresponding pulsar value because of extreme relativistic Frame Dragging Effect. Thus isolated spinning MECOs could be source of UHE cosmic ray acceleration and VHE gamma-ray production. However because of the steeply varying gravitational field close to the surface of the MECO, any signal generated there would be both extremely redshifted and distorted. As a result, there may not be any significant pulsed X-ray or Radio emission from close to the surface, and consequently, the $γ$-ray source may appear as ``Unidentified'' and the particle accelerator may appear as ``Dark''. | |
