Doppler tomography of accretion in binaries
Since its conception, Doppler tomography has matured into a versatile and widely used tool. It exploits the information contained in the highly-structured spectral line-profiles typically observed in mass-transferring binaries. Using inversion techniques akin to medical imaging, it permits the reconstruction of Doppler maps that image the accretion flow on micro-arcsecond scales. I summarise th...
متن کاملModelling magnetised accretion discs
Some recent results are reviewed that lead us now to believe that accretion discs are basically always magnetised. The main components are Balbus-Hawley and Parker instabilities on the one hand and a dynamo process on the other. A mechanical model for the Balbus-Hawley instability is presented and analysed quantitatively. Three-dimensional simulations are discussed, especially the resulting mag...
متن کاملSelf-gravitating accretion discs
— I review recent progresses in the dynamics and the evolution of self-gravitating accretion discs. Accretion discs are a fundamental component of several astrophysical systems on very diverse scales, and can be found around supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and also in our Galaxy around stellar mass compact objects and around young stars. Notwithstanding the specific di...
متن کاملAccretion Discs with Accreting Coronae in Agn { Ii. Nuclear Wind
We study an accretion disc with a hot continuous corona. We assume that the corona itself accretes and therefore it is powered directly by the release of the gravitational energy and cooled by radiative interaction with the disc. We consider the vertical structure of such a corona and show that the radial infall is accompanied by strong vertical outtow. Such a model has two important consequenc...
متن کاملStationary population accretion discs
We present stationary models of protostellar population (Pop , for short) accretion discs, compare them to Pop discs, and investigate the influence of the different chemical compositions on the occurence of gravitational, thermal and thermal-viscous instabilities in the discs. In particular in the cooler regions, we find major differences between Pop and Pop discs, both in the st...
