Radiation from a micro black hole accreting inside dense stellar matter is trapped and advected inward with the accretion flow

Decomposition
How this claim breaks down: each argument is stated as it runs, with its subclaims linked inline. ↗︎ opens a subclaim; the map shows how they fit together.
Because the photon trapping radius far exceeds the Bondi radius for micro black holes in white-dwarf or neutron-star matter, photons generated near the hole diffuse outward more slowly than the surrounding matter falls in, and given that the flow inside a star is quasi-spherical rather than disk-like, there is no low-density channel through which they could escape instead. The radiation is therefore carried inward with the accreting matter rather than emerging to push back on the inflow.
Because general-relativistic simulations find that black holes inside neutron stars accrete at the Bondi rate with no radiative feedback halting the flow, the embedded-accretion regime behaves as it would if the radiation were trapped and advected inward, which is what the claim predicts.
