Scientific paper

I review the possible scenarios that could give rise to hot dense disks around black holes, and their role in the production of short gamma ray bursts. The structure and evolution of these disks directly impacts upon the energy available for extraction, and sets the relevant time scales in the system. The on-going SWIFT mission has already accurately localized the first short GRBs, and provided indications that binary mergers may indeed by linked to these powerful events.
