Hyper- and suspended-accretion states of rotating black holes and the durations of gamma-ray bursts
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Eve C. Ostriker
We analyze the temporal evolution of accretion onto rotating black holes subject to large-scale magnetic torques. Wind torques alone drive a disk towards collapse in a finite time…
Electric Charge and Magnetic Flux on Rotating Black Holes in a Force-Free Magnetosphere
Hyun Kyu Lee, Chul H. Lee, Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
The electric charge on rotating black holes is calculated to be ~ BJ in the force-free configuration of Ghosh (2000), with a horizon flux of ~ BM^2. This charge is gravitationally…
Electron-positron outflow from black holes and the formation of winds
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
The collapse of young massive stars or the coalescence of a black hole-neutron star binary is expected to give rise to a black hole-torus system. When the torus is strongly magneti…
An -frequency dynamics algorithm for gravitational waves
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Abhinanda Sarkar
Coalescence of low mass compact binaries of neutron stars and black holes are primary burst sources for LIGO and VIRGO.Of importance in the early stages of observations will be the…
