By means of three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with a Eulerian PPM code we investigate the formation and the properties of the accretion torus around the stellar mass black hole which originates from the merging of two neutron stars. The simulations are performed with four nested cartesian grids which allow for both a good resolution near the central black hole and a large computational volume. They include the use of a physical equation of state as well as the neutrino emission from the hot matter of the torus. The gravity of the black hole is described with a Newtonian and alternatively with a Paczynski-Wiita potential. In a post-processing step, we evaluate our models for the energy deposition by nu-nubar annihilation around the accretion torus. Our models show that nu-nubar annihilation can yield the energy to account for weak, short gamma-ray bursts, if moderate beaming is involved. In fact, the barrier of the dense baryonic gas of the torus suggests that the low-density pair-photon-plasma is beamed as axial jets into a fraction 2 delta Omega/ (4 pi) between 1/100 and 1/10 of the sky, corresponding to opening half-angles of roughly ten to several tens of degrees. Thus gamma-burst energies of 10^{50}--10^{51} erg seem within the reach of our models (if the source is interpreted as radiating isotropically), corresponding to luminosities around 10^{51} erg/s for typical burst durations of 0.1--1 s. Gravitational capture of radiation by the black hole, redshift and ray bending do not reduce the jet energy significantly. Effects associated with the Kerr character of the rapidly rotating black hole, however, could increase the gamma-burst energy considerably, and effects due to magnetic fields might even be required to get the energies for long complex gamma-ray bursts.
Hydrodynamic simulations of the merger of stellar mass black hole - neutron star binaries (BH/NS) are compared with mergers of binary neutron stars (NS/NS). The simulations are Newtonian, but take into account the emission and backreaction of gravita
The first locations of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in elliptical galaxies suggest they are produced by the mergers of double neutron star (DNS) binaries in old stellar populations. Globular clusters, where the extreme densities of very old stars in
The idea that gamma-ray bursts might be a kind of phenomena associated with neutron star kicks was first proposed by Dar & Plaga (1999). Here we study this mechanism in more detail and point out that the neutron star should be a high speed one (with
We present post-Newtonian $N$-body simulations on mergers of accreting stellar-mass black holes (BHs), where such general relativistic effects as the pericenter shift and gravitational wave (GW) emission are taken into consideration. The attention is
Mergers of double neutron stars are considered the most likely progenitors for short gamma-ray bursts. Indeed such a merger can produce a black hole with a transient accreting torus of nuclear matter (Lee & Ramirez-Ruiz 2007, Oechslin & Janka 2006),
