abstract

We examine analytically and numerically the evolution of a relativistic fireball. We show that, after an early rearrangement phase, most of the matter and energy in the fireball is concentrated within a narrow shell. The shell propagates at nearly the speed of light, with a frozen radial profile and according to a simple set of scaling laws. The spectrum of the escaping radiation is harder at early times and softer later on. The results are applicable to models of $\gamma$-ray bursts.

  • Neutrino oscillations in a neutrino-dominated accretion disk around a Kerr BH astro-ph.HE · 2019-09-04 · conditional · none · ref 164 · internal anchor

    Neutrino self-interactions inside neutrino-cooled accretion disks are argued to push flavors toward equipartition, reducing the neutrino-antineutrino annihilation energy deposition around black holes by a factor up to about five.
