Hot accretion flows around black holes

F Yuan, R Narayan - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies …

Neutrino-dominated accretion flows as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts

T Liu, WM Gu, B Zhang - New Astronomy Reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Neutrino-dominated accretion flows (NDAFs) around rotating stellar-mass black holes (BHs)
are plausible candidates for the central engines of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). NDAFs are …
