A New Equilibrium for Accretion Disks Around Black Holes
Accretion disks around black holes in which the shear stress is proportional to the total pressure, the accretion rate is more than a small fraction of Eddington, and the matter is distributed smoothly are both thermally and viscously unstable in their inner portions. The nonlinear endstate of these instabilities is uncertain. Here a new inhomogeneous equilibrium is proposed which is both therm...
متن کاملAccretion Disks around Kerr Black Holes: Vertical Equilibrium Revisited
We re-derive the equation for vertical hydrodynamical equilibrium of stationary thin and slim accretion disks in the Kerr spacetime. All the previous derivations have been unsatisfactory, yielding unphysical singularities. Our equation is non-singular, more general, and simpler than those previously derived. Subject headings: accretion, accretion disks — black hole physics — hydrodynamics — rel...
متن کاملSporadically Torqued Accretion Disks Around Black Holes
The assumption that black hole accretion disks possess an untorqued inner boundary, the so-called zero torque boundary condition, has been employed by models of black hole disks for many years. However, recent theoretical and observational work suggests that magnetic forces may appreciably torque the inner disk. This raises the question of the effect that a time-changing magnetic torque may hav...
متن کاملPhysics Fundamentals of Luminous Accretion Disks around Black Holes
These lectures provide an overview of the theory of accretion disks with application to bright sources containing black holes. I focus on the fundamental physics of these flows, stressing modern developments and outstanding questions wherever possible. After a review of standard Shakura-Sunyaev based models and their problems and uncertainties, I describe the basic principles that determine the...
متن کاملNeutrino-cooled Accretion Disks around Spinning Black Holes
Abstract. We calculate the structure of accretion disk around a spinning black hole for accretion rates Ṁ = 0.01− 10M⊙ s−1. The model is fully relativistic and treats accurately the disk microphysics including neutrino emissivity, opacity, electron degeneracy, and nuclear composition. We find that the accretion flow always regulates itself to a mildly degenerate state with the protonto-nucleon ...
