VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF NEUTRINO-DOMINATED ACCRETION DISKS AND NEUTRINO TRANSPORT IN THE DISKS
We investigate the vertical structure of neutrino-dominated accretion disks by self-consistently considering the detailed microphysics, such as the neutrino transport, the vertical hydrostatic equilibrium, the conservation of lepton number, as well as the balance between neutrino cooling, advection cooling, and viscosity heating. After obtaining the emitting spectra of neutrinos and antineutrinos by solving the one-dimensional Boltzmann equation of neutrino and antineutrino transport in the disk, we calculate the neutrino/antineutrino luminosity and their annihilation luminosity. We find that the total neutrino and antineutrino luminosity is about 10{sup 54} erg s{sup -1} and their annihilation luminosity is about 5 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 51} erg s{sup -1} with an extreme accretion rate 10 M{sub Sun} s{sup -1} and an alpha viscosity {alpha} = 0.1. In addition, we find that the annihilation luminosity is sensitive to the accretion rate and will not exceed 10{sup 50} erg s{sup -1}, which is not sufficient to power the fireball of most energetic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) if the accretion rate is lower than 1 M{sub Sun} s{sup -1}. Therefore, the effects of the spin of the black hole or/and the magnetic field in the accretion flow might play a role in powering the central engine of GRBs.
