White dwarfs stripped by massive black holes: sources of coincident gravitational and electromagnetic radiation
Ivan Zalamea, Kristen Menou, Andrei M. Beloborodov
White dwarfs inspiraling into black holes of mass $\MBH\simgt 10^5M_\odot$ are detectable sources of gravitational waves in the LISA band. In many of these events, the white dwarf…
Neutrino heating near hyper-accreting black holes
Ivan Zalamea, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Hyper-accretion discs around black holes emit copious neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. A fraction of the emitted neutrinos convert to electron-positron plasma above the disc through t…
Mini-discs around spinning black holes
Ivan Zalamea, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Accretion onto black holes in wind-fed binaries and in collapsars forms small rotating discs with peculiar properties. Such ``mini-discs'' accrete on the free-fall time without hel…
Efficiency of Neutrino Annihilation around Spinning Black Holes
Ivan Zalamea, Andrei M. Beloborodov
A fraction of neutrino emission from GRB accretion disks annihilates above the disk, creating e+- plasma that can drive GRB explosions. We calculate the efficiency of this annihila…
