Hoyle–Lyttleton Accretion onto Accretion Disks
We investigate Hoyle–Lyttleton accretion for the case where the central source is a luminous accretion disk. In classical Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion onto a “spherical” source, accretion takes place in an axially symmetric manner around a so-called accretion axis. In the spherical case the accretion rate Ṁ is given as ṀHL(1− Γ), where ṀHL is the accretion rate of the classical Hoyle–Lyttleton acc...
متن کاملA Review of Bondi–Hoyle–Lyttleton Accretion
If a point mass moves through a uniform gas cloud, at what rate does it accrete material? This is the question studied by Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton. This paper draws together the work performed in this area since the problem was first studied. Time has shown that, despite the simplifications made, Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton made quite accurate predictions for the accretion rate. Bondi–Hoyle–Ly...
متن کاملEffect of Radiation Drag on Hoyle-Lyttleton Accretion
Hoyle-Lyttleton type accretion is investigated, by taking account of not only the effect of radiation pressure but the effect of radiation drag. We calculate the trajectories of particles for three cases: only the effect of gravity is considered (case A); the effect of radiation pressure is taken into account (case B); the effect of radiation drag as well as radiation pressure is taken into acc...
متن کاملRevisiting the “flip-flop” Instability of Hoyle-lyttleton Accretion
We revisit the flip-flop instability of two-dimensional planar accretion using high-fidelity numerical simulations. By starting from an initially steady-state axisymmetric solution, we are able to follow the growth of this overstability from small amplitudes. In the small-amplitude limit, before any transient accretion disk is formed, the oscillation period of the accretion shock is comparable ...
متن کاملAn analytic study of Bondi – Hoyle – Lyttleton accretion
We prove that the sonic surface of axi-symmetric meridional stationary flows is always attached to the accretor, however small, if the adiabatic index of the gas is γ = 5/3. Using local expansions near a point-like accretor, we extend Bondi's classification of spherically symmetric flows to axisymmetric flows, introducing the possibility of angular sectors reached by no flow lines, and singular...
