On the release of binding energy and accretion power in core collapse-like environments

Aristotle Socrates, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz

All accretion models of gamma-ray bursts share a common assumption: accretion power and gravitational binding energy is released and then dissipated locally, with the mass of its o…
