Accretion induced black hole spin up in magnetized collapsars

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2020-12-08 v1

Abstract

We study the gravitational collapse and formation of the Kerr black hole from the rotating progenitor star. We follow the evolution of black hole spin, coupled with its increasing mass. We study the effect of different level of rotation endowed in the progenitor's envelope, and we out some constraints on the final black hole parameters. Our method is based on semi-analytical computations that involve stellar-evolution models of different progenitors. We also follow numerically the black hole evolution and spacetime metric changes during the collapse, via General Relativistic MHD modeling. (abridged)
