Gamma-ray bursts are themost energetic transient events in the universe. Those with durations of a fewtens of seconds are likely the result of the collapse of a massive star withhigh spin. A transient object, known as a collapsar, is formed: a black hole inthe core of the star accreting successive layers of the stellar interior andproducing two powerful twin jets. In this talk I shall briefly review the fieldof gamma-ray burst studies and then I'll focus on neutrino and gravitationalwave production in collapsars.
