A stellar-mass black hole (BH) surrounded by a neutrino-dominated accretion flow (NDAF) is generally considered to be the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Neutrinos escaping from the disk will annihilate out of the disk to produce…

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from rapidly spinning black hole-torus systems may represent hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We show that the torus may radiate gravitational radiation powered by the spin-energy of the black…

One of the mysteries that surround gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is the origin of two classes of events: long and short GRB. The short GRB are similar to the first second of a long GRB. We suggest that the short bursts are interrupted long bursts,…

Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are explosions of cosmic origin believed to be associated with the merger of two compact objects, either two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole. The presence of at least one neutron star has long…

There is growing observational evidence that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by black holes accreting rapidly through a disk. The supernova-like outburst that accompanies some gamma-ray bursts suggest that some long-duration GRBs may be…

This thesis focuses on the study of the hyperaccreting neutron-star disks and magnetized accretion flows. It is usually proposed that hyperaccreting disks surrounding stellar-mass black holes with a huge accretion rate are central engines…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified into long and short populations (i.e., LGRBs and SGRBs) based on the observed bimodal distribution of duration $T_{90}$. Multimessenger observations indicated that most SGRBs and LGRBs should be…

The correlations between the rest frame peak of the EF_E spectrum of GRBs Epeak and their isotropic energy (E_iso) or luminosity (L_iso) could have several implications for the understanding of the GRB prompt emission. These correlations…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are presumed to be powered by still unknown central engines for the timescales in the range $1ms \sim$ a few s. We propose that the GRB central engines would be a viable site for strong meson synchrotron emission if…

Most Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have erratic light curves, which demand that the GRB central engine launches an episodic outflow. Recent Fermi observations of some GRBs indicate a lack of the thermal photosphere component as predicted by the…

We calculate the structure and evolution of a gamma ray burst central engine where an accreting torus has formed around the newly born black hole. We study the general relativistic,MHD models and we self-consistently incorporate the nuclear…

We analyze here late evolutionary stages of massive (with initial mass higher than 8 masses of the Sun) close binary stars. Our purposes are to study possible mechanisms of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) origin. We suppose in this paper that GRB…

I briefly review magnetic effects in accretion physics, and then go on to discuss a possible central engine for gamma-ray bursts. A rotating black hole immersed in a non-axisymmetric magnetic field experiences a torque trying to align spin…

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are extra-galactic and extremely energetic transient emissions of gamma rays, which are thought to be associated with the death of massive stars or the merger of compact objects in binary systems. Their huge…

Short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) show a large diversity in their properties. This suggests that the observed phenomenon can be caused by different "central engines" or that the engine produces a variety of outcomes depending on its…

Accretion powers relativistic jets in GRBs, similarly to other jet sources. Black holes that are at heart of long GRBs, are formed as the end product of stellar evolution. At birth, some of the black holes must be very rapidly spinning, to…

A hyperaccretion disk formed around a stellar mass black hole is a plausible model for the central engine that powers gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If the central black hole rotates and a poloidal magnetic field threads its horizon, a powerful…

Long Gamma Ray Bursts (lGRBs) are associated with jets in Type Ic broadline supernovae. The Collapsar model provides a theoretical framework for the jet formation from the core collapse of a massive star in such supernovae. The GRB can only…
