We present our first numerical results of axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations for neutrino-cooled accretion tori around rotating black holes in general relativity. We consider tori of mass $sim 0.1$--0.4$M_{odot}$ around a black hole of mass $M=4M_{odot}$ and spin $a=0$--$0.9M$; such systems are candidates for the central engines of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) formed after the collapse of massive rotating stellar cores and the merger of a black hole and a neutron star. In this paper, we consider the short-term evolution of a torus for a duration of $approx 60$ ms, focusing on short-hard GRBs. Simulations were performed with a plausible microphysical equation of state that takes into account neutronization, the nuclear statistical equilibrium of a gas of free nucleons and $alpha$-particles, black body radiation, and a relativistic Fermi gas (neutrinos, electrons, and positrons). Neutrino-emission processes, such as $e^{pm}$ capture onto free nucleons, $e^{pm}$ pair annihilation, plasmon decay, and nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung are taken into account as cooling processes. Magnetic braking and the magnetorotational instability in the accretion tori play a role in angular momentum redistribution, which causes turbulent motion, resultant shock heating, and mass accretion onto the black hole. The mass accretion rate is found to be $dot M_* sim 1$--$10 M_{odot}$/s, and the shock heating increases the temperature to $sim 10^{11}$ K. This results in a maximum neutrino emission rate of $L_{ u}=$ several $times 10^{53}$ ergs/s and a conversion efficiency $L_{ u}/dot M_* c^2$ on the order of a few percent for tori with mass $M_{rm t} approx 0.1$--0.4$M_{odot}$ and for moderately high black hole spins.

We investigate stationary, self-gravitating, magnetised disks (or tori) around black holes. The models are obtained by numerically solving the coupled system of the Einstein equations and the equations of ideal general-relativistic magnetohydrodynami
cs. The mathematical formulation and numerical aspects of our approach are similar to those reported in previous works modeling stationary self-gravitating perfect-fluid tori, but the inclusion of magnetic fields represents a new ingredient. Following previous studies of purely hydrodynamical configurations, we construct our models assuming Keplerian rotation in the disks and both spinning and spinless black holes. We focus on the case of a toroidal distribution of the magnetic field and build a large set of models corresponding to a wide range of values of the magnetisation parameter, starting with weakly magnetised disks and ending at configurations in which the magnetic pressure dominates over the thermal one. In all our models, the magnetic field affects the equilibrium structure of the torus mainly due to the magnetic pressure. In particular, an increasing contribution of the magnetic field shifts the location of the maximum of the rest-mass density towards inner regions of the disk. The total mass of the system and the angular momentum are affected by the magnetic field in a complex way, that depends on the black hole spin and the location of the inner radius of the disk. The non-linear dynamical stability of the solutions presented in this paper will be reported elsewhere.
Black-hole (BH) accretion disks formed in compact-object mergers or collapsars may be major sites of the rapid-neutron-capture (r-)process, but the conditions determining the electron fraction (Y_e) remain uncertain given the complexity of neutrino t
ransfer and angular-momentum transport. After discussing relevant weak-interaction regimes, we study the role of neutrino absorption for shaping Y_e using an extensive set of simulations performed with two-moment neutrino transport and again without neutrino absorption. We vary the torus mass, BH mass and spin, and examine the impact of rest-mass and weak-magnetism corrections in the neutrino rates. We also test the dependence on the angular-momentum transport treatment by comparing axisymmetric models using the standard alpha-viscosity with viscous models assuming constant viscous length scales (l_t) and three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. Finally, we discuss the nucleosynthesis yields and basic kilonova properties. We find that absorption pushes Y_e towards ~0.5 outside the torus, while inside increasing the equilibrium value Y_e^eq by ~0.05--0.2. Correspondingly, a substantial ejecta fraction is pushed above Y_e=0.25, leading to a reduced lanthanide fraction and a brighter, earlier, and bluer kilonova than without absorption. More compact tori with higher neutrino optical depth, tau, tend to have lower Y_e^eq up to tau~1-10, above which absorption becomes strong enough to reverse this trend. Disk ejecta are less (more) neutron-rich when employing an l_t=const. viscosity (MHD treatment). The solar-like abundance pattern found for our MHD model marginally supports collapsar disks as major r-process sites, although a strong r-process may be limited to phases of high mass-infall rates, Mdot>~ 2 x 10^(-2) Msun/s.
We explore the (non)-universality of Martinezs conjecture, originally proposed for Kerr black holes, within and beyond general relativity. The conjecture states that the Brown-York quasilocal energy at the outer horizon of such a black hole reduces t
o twice its irreducible mass, or equivalently, to sqrt{A} /(2sqrt{pi}), where `A is its area. We first consider the charged Kerr black hole. For such a spacetime, we calculate the quasilocal energy within a two-surface of constant Boyer-Lindquist radius embedded in a constant stationary-time slice. Keeping with Martinezs conjecture, at the outer horizon this energy equals the irreducible mass. The energy is positive and monotonically decreases to the ADM mass as the boundary-surface radius diverges. Next we perform an analogous calculation for the quasilocal energy for the Kerr-Sen spacetime, which corresponds to four-dimensional rotating charged black hole solutions in heterotic string theory. The behavior of this energy as a function of the boundary-surface radius is similar to the charged Kerr case. However, we show that in this case it does not approach the expression conjectured by Martinez at the horizon.
At the 20-th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics there was a plenary talk devoted to the recent developments in classical Relativity. In that talk the problems of gravitational collapse, collisions of black holes, and of black holes as celes
tial bodies were discussed. But probably the problems of the internal structure of black holes are a real great challenge. In my talk I want to outline the recent achievements in our understanding of the nature of the singularity (and beyond!) inside a realistic rotating black hole. This presentation also addresses the following questions: Can we see what happens inside a black hole? Can a falling observer cross the singularity without being crushed? An answer to these questions is probably yes.
In this article, we explore the geodesics motion of neutral test particles and the process of energy extraction from a regular rotating Hayward black hole. We analyse the effect of spin, as well as deviation parameter g, on ergoregion, event horizon
and static limit of the said black hole. By making use of geodesic equations on the equatorial plane, we determine the innermost stable circular and photon orbits. Moreover, we investigate the effective potentials and effective force to have information on motion and the stability of circular orbits. On studying the negative energy states, we figure out the energy limits of Penrose mechanism. Using Penrose mechanism, we found expression for the efficiency of energy extraction and observed that both spin and deviation parameters, contribute to the efficiency of energy extraction. Finally, the obtained results are compared with that acquired from Kerr and braneworld Kerr black holes.
