A quasi-spherical inner accretion flow in Seyfert galaxies ?
We study a phenomenological model for the continuum emission of Seyfert galaxies. In this quasi-spherical accretion scenario, the central X-ray source is constituted by a hot spherical plasma region surrounded by spherically distributed cold dense clouds. The cold material is radiatively coupled with the hot thermal plasma. Assuming energy balance, we compute the hard X-ray spectral slope Γ and...
متن کاملTime-dependent quasi-spherical accretion
Differentially rotating, ‘advection-dominated’ accretion flows are considered in which the heat generated by viscous dissipation is retained in the fluid. The equations of time-dependent quasi-spherical accretion are solved in a simplified one-dimensional model that neglects the latitudinal dependence of the flow. A self-similar solution is presented that has finite size, mass, angular momentum...
متن کاملSpherical Accretion in Nearby Weakly Active Galaxies
We consider the sample of weakly active galaxies situated in ’Local Universe’ collected in the paper of Pellegrini (2005) with inferred accretion efficiencies from 10−2 to 10−7. We apply a model of spherically symmetrical Bondi accretion for given parameters (MBH ,T∞,ρ∞,) taken from observation. We calculate spectra emitted by the gas accreting onto its central objects using Monte Carlo method ...
متن کاملTwo Different Accretion Classes in Seyfert 1 Galaxies and QSOs.
The mass of the central black holes in Seyfert galaxies and QSOs can be determined from the broad emission lines and the reverberation method. Using the measured black hole mass and the bolometric or ionizing luminosity, the accretion rate can be estimated. Compiling a sample of Seyfert 1 galaxies and QSOs with reliable central masses, estimated ionizing luminosities, and X-ray spectral slopes,...
متن کاملSpherical Accretion
We compare different examples of spherical accretion onto a gravitating mass. Limiting cases include the accretion of a collisionally dominated fluid and the accretion of collisionless particles. We derive expressions for the accretion rate and density profile for semi-collisional accretion which bridges the gap between these limiting cases. Particle crossing of the Hill sphere during the forma...
