Gravitational Waves from Hyper-Accretion onto Nascent Black Holes
Rafael Angel Araya-Gochez
We examine the possibility that hyper-accretion onto newly born, black holes occurs in highly intermittent, non-asymmetric fashion favorable to gravitational wave emission in a neu…

Radiative Heat Conduction and the Magnetorotational Instability
Rafael A. Araya-Gochez, Ethan Vishniac
A photon or neutrino gas--semi-contained by a baryonic species through scattering--comprises a rather peculiar MHD fluid where the magnetic field is truly frozen only to the co-mov…

Hydromagnetic Energy Conversion and Prompt Collimation in Mildly Advective, Kerr Black Holes
Rafael Angel Araya-Gochez
Recent evidence of the phenomenal energetics involved in gamma ray burst events strongly suggests that the progenitor must efficiently convert gravitational binding energy into a m…
