A hyperaccreting black-hole disk has an accretion rate so large that photon cooling can be trapped and neutrino emission can dominate the cooling of its hot dense inner region. Such disks are models for the central engines of some gamma-ray bursts.
A neutrino-dominated accretion flow is a hyperaccreting disk whose inner plasma cools primarily through neutrino-producing weak interactions.
