Scientific paper

Ionized matter falling onto an isolated rotating black hole will be
heated sufficiently that proton-proton collisions will produce mesons,
including neutral pions, which decay into gamma rays. For massive
(1000-solar mass) black holes, the resulting gamma-ray luminosity may
exceed 10 to the 36th erg/s with a spectrum peaked near 20 MeV.
