Self-Gravity in Magnetized Neutrino-Dominated Accretion Discs

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2022-01-05 v2

Abstract

What is conducted in the present work is the study of self-gravity effects on vertical structure of magnetized neutrino-dominated accretion disc (termed NDAF and considered as a central engine for Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)). Some of the disc physical time scales such as viscous, cooling and diffusion time scales, that are supposed to play a pivotal role in the late time evolutions of the disc, have been studied. It is of our interest to investigate the possibility of the X-ray flares occurrence, observed in late time GRB's extended emission through the "magnetic barrier" and "fragmentation" processes in our model. The results lead us to interpret self-gravity as an amplifier for Blandford-Payne luminosity (BP power) and the generated magnetic field, but a suppressor for neutrino luminosity and magnetic barrier process via highlighting fragmentation mechanism in the outer disc, especially for the higher mass accretion rates.
