Neutrino‐cooled Accretion Disks around Spinning Black Holes

Neutrino‐cooled Accretion Disks around Spinning Black Holes

We calculate the structure of accretion disks around Kerr black holes for accretion rates = 0.001-10 M☉ s-1. Such high- disks are plausible candidates for the central engine of gamma-ray bursts. Our disk model is fully relativistic and accurately treats the microphysics of the accreting matter: neutrino emissivity, opacity, electron …
