Foundations of Black Hole Accretion Disk Theory
This review covers the main aspects of black hole accretion disk theory. We begin with the view that one of the main goals of the theory is to better understand the nature of black holes themselves. In this light we discuss how accretion disks might reveal some of the unique signatures of strong gravity: the event horizon, the innermost stable circular orbit, and the ergosphere. We then review,...
متن کاملTesting Accretion Disk Theory in Black Hole X-ray Binaries
We present results from spectral modeling of three black hole X-ray binaries: LMC X-3, GRO J1655-40, and XTE J1550-564. Using a sample of disk dominated observations, we fit the data with a range of spectral models that includes a simple multitemperature blackbody (DISKBB), a relativistic accretion disk model based on color-corrected blackbodies (KERRBB), and a relativistic model based on non-L...
متن کاملAccretion Disk Torqued by a Black Hole
If a Kerr black hole is connected to a disk rotating around it by a magnetic field, the rotational energy of the Kerr black hole provides an energy source for the radiation of the disk in addition to disk accretion. The black hole exerts a torque on the disk, which transfers energy and angular momentum between the black hole and the disk. If the black hole rotates faster than the disk, energy a...
متن کاملModeling Accretion Disk X-ray Continuum of Black Hole Candidates
We critically examine issues associated with determining the fundamental properties of the black hole and the surrounding accretion disk in an X-ray binary based on modeling the disk X-ray continuum of the source. We base our work mainly on two XMM-Newton observations of GX 339−4, because they provided high-quality data at low energies (below 1 keV) which are critical for reliably modeling the ...
متن کاملStability of a slim accretion disk around a black hole
Stability is examined for an optically thick, slim accretion disk around a black hole. We derive the fourth-order dispersion relation in a framework of a linear stability analysis. Also we obtain the approximate second-order relation which is convenient to diagnose the stability. By solving these relations for slim disk models with a low viscous parameter α, we find that not only the viscous an...
