Viscous evolution of a massive disk surrounding stellar-mass black holes in full general relativity
Abstract
Long-term viscous neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations in full general relativity are performed for a massive disk surrounding spinning stellar-mass black holes with mass , , and and initial dimensionless spin . The initial disk is chosen to have mass or as plausible models of the remnants for the merger of black hole-neutron star binaries or the stellar core collapse from a rapidly rotating progenitor, respectively. For with the outer disk edge initially located at km, we find that %-% of is ejected and the average electron fraction of the ejecta is - as found in the previous study. For , we find that %-% of is ejected for - km. In addition, of the ejecta can be enhanced to be because the electron fraction is increased significantly during the long-term viscous expansion of the disk with high neutrino luminosity until the mass ejection sets in. Our results suggest that not heavy -process elements but light trans-iron elements would be synthesized in the matter ejected from a massive torus surrounding stellar-mass black holes. We also find that the outcomes of the viscous evolution for the high-mass disk case is composed of a rapidly spinning black hole surrounded by a torus with a narrow funnel, which appears to be suitable for generating gamma-ray bursts.
