Activation of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism in collapsing stars
Collapse of massive stars may result in formation of accreting black holes in their interior. The accreting stellar matter may advect substantial magnetic flux onto the black hole and promote release of its rotational energy via magnetic stresses (the Blandford-Znajek mechanism). In this paper we explore whether this process can …
