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…
A torus develops a state of suspended accretion against a magnetic wall around a rapidly rotating black hole formed in core-collapse hypernovae. It hereby emits about 10% of the black hole spin-energy in gravitational radiation from a…
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are probably powered by systems harboring a rotating black hole. These may result from hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We identify short/long bursts with hyper- and suspended-accretion…
Gamma-ray bursts are believed to originate in core-collapse of massive stars. This produces an active nucleus containing a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole surrounded by a uniformly magnetized torus represented by two counter-oriented…
A torus around a stellar mass Kerr black hole can emit about 10% of the spin-energy of the black hole in gravitational radiation, potentially associated with a gamma-ray burst. Wide tori may develop buckling modes by the Papaloizou-Pringle…
Black holes surrounded by a disk or torus may drive the enigmatic cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Equivalence in poloidal topology to pulsar magnetospheres shows a high incidence of the black hole-luminosity $L_H$ into the surrounding…
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts may be powered by rotating black holes with contemporaneous emission of gravitational radiation from a surrounding torus. We calculate the resulting stochastic background radiation assuming strong cosmological…
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are probably powered by high-angular momentum black hole-torus systems in suspended accretion. The torus will radiate gravitational waves as non-axisymmetric instabilities develop. The luminosity in…
One of the most luminous explosions detected, gamma-ray bursts, especially the so-called long-duration bursts, most probably consist of an intrinsic core-collapse to a black hole inside a super massive star. We point out that this collapse…
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts are potentially associated with systems harboring a black rotating black hole. Calorimetry on yet "unseen" emissions in gravitational waves from a surrounding torus may provide a measure for its rotational…
Core-collapse in massive stars is believed to produce a rapidly spinning black hole surrounded by a compact disk or torus. This forms an energetic MeV-nucleus inside a remnant He-core, powered by black hole-spin energy. The output produces…
(Abbrev.) We analyze the topology, lifetime, and emissions of a torus around a black hole formed in hypernovae and black hole-neutron star coalescence. The torus is ab initio uniformly magnetized, represented by two counter oriented…
Kerr black holes are energetically similar to spinning tops accompanied by frame dragging in the surrounding spacetime. Frame dragging is shown herein to be a universal causal agent for producing multi-messenger emissions. We discuss high…
We derive the gravitational waveform from the collapse of a rapidly rotating supermassive star (SMS) core leading directly to a seed of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in axisymmetric numerical-relativity simulations. We find that the peak…
Current phenomenology suggests the presence of a compact baryon-poor energy source to cosmological gamma-ray bursts reacting to high-density matter. The association of short and long gamma-ray bursts with hyper- and suspended accretion onto…
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…
Black hole (BH)--torus systems are promising candidates for the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and also possible outcomes of the collapse of supermassive stars to supermassive black holes (SMBHs). By three-dimensional general…
We study the structure and evolution of the hyperaccreting disks and outflows in the gamma ray bursts central engines. The torus around a stellar mass black hole is composed of free nucleons, Helium, electron-positron pairs, and is cooled…
The most energetic GRB-supernovae probably derive from rotating stellar mass black holes. Based on BeppoSax data, we identify a mechanism for exploding a remnant stellar envelope by disk winds. A specific signature is high frequency…
The gravitational-wave spectrum emitted by a non-axisymmetric torus rotating at an angular velocity $\Omega_T$, is derived in terms of a structure function representing a combination of sausage-tilt modes in the torus in the limit of an…
