Hyper-accreting black holes
Andrei M. Beloborodov (Columbia University)
TL;DR
This paper reviews hyper-accreting black holes, focusing on their disk structure, neutrino interactions, and evolution, highlighting their role as potential gamma-ray burst sources.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of the physical processes in hyper-accreting black holes, emphasizing recent developments in understanding their structure and emissions.
Findings
Hyper-accretion disks produce intense neutrino fluxes.
Neutrino conversion leads to electron-positron plasma formation.
Post-burst evolution influences gamma-ray burst characteristics.
Abstract
Hyper-accretion disks are short-lived, powerful sources of neutrinos and magnetized jets. Such disks are plausible sources of gamma-ray bursts. This review describes the disk structure, the neutrino conversion to electron-positron plasma around the disk, and the post-burst evolution.
