Efficiency of Neutrino Annihilation around Spinning Black Holes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fraction of neutrino emission from GRB accretion disks annihilates above the disk, creating e+plasma that can drive GRB explosions. We calculate the efficiency of this annihilation using the recent detailed model of hyper-accretion disks around Kerr black holes. Our calculation is fully relativistic and based on a geodesic-tracing method. We find that the efficiency is a well-defined function of (1) accretion rate and (2) spin of the black hole. It is practically independent of the details of neutrino transport in the opaque zone of the disk. The results help identify the accretion disks whose neutrino emission can power GRBs.

Neutrino-cooled Accretion Disks around Spinning Black Holes
Abstract. We calculate the structure of accretion disk around a spinning black hole for accretion rates Ṁ = 0.01− 10M⊙ s−1. The model is fully relativistic and treats accurately the disk microphysics including neutrino emissivity, opacity, electron degeneracy, and nuclear composition. We find that the accretion flow always regulates itself to a mildly degenerate state with the protonto-nucleon ...
متن کاملNon-stationary hyperaccretion of stellar-mass black holes in three dimensions: Torus evolution and neutrino emission
We present three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of selfgravitating, thick accretion discs around hyperaccreting stellar-mass black holes. The black hole-torus systems are considered to be remnants of compact object mergers, in which case the disc is not fed by an external mass reservoir and the accretion is non-stationary. Our models take into account viscous dissipation,...
متن کاملThree-dimensional simulations of non-stationary accretion by remnant black holes of compact object mergers
By means of three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with an Eulerian PPM code we investigate the time-dependent evolution and properties of accretion tori around nonrotating and rotating stellar-mass black holes, using a pseudo-Newtonian (Paczyński & Wiita or Artemova-Björnsson-Novikov) potential to approximate the effects of general relativity. The simulations are performed with three neste...
متن کاملNeutrino pair annihilation near accreting , stellar - mass black holes
Context. We investigate the deposition of energy and momentum due to the annihilation of neutrinos (ν) and antineutrinos (¯ ν) in the vicinity of steady, axisymmetric accretion tori around stellar-mass black holes (BHs). This process is widely considered as an energy source for driving ultrarelativistic outflows with the potential to produce gamma-ray bursts. Aims. We analyze the influence of g...
متن کاملMini-discs around spinning black holes
Accretion onto black holes in wind-fed binaries and in collapsars forms small rotating discs with peculiar properties. Such “mini-discs” accrete on the free-fall time without help of viscosity and nevertheless can have a high radiative efficiency. The inviscid mini-disc model was previously constructed for a non-rotating black hole. We extend the model to the case of a spinning black hole, calc...
