Neutrino-cooled accretion disks as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts

Abstract

Neutrino-cooled hyperaccretion disks around stellar mass black holes are plausible candidates for the central engine of gamma-ray bursts. We calculate the one-dimensional structure and the annihilation luminosity of such disks. The resulting neutrino annihilation luminosity is still likely to be adequate for gamma-ray bursts, and it is ejected mainly from the inner region of the disk and has an anisotropic distribution
