Global Compton Heating and Cooling in Hot Accretion Flows
The hot accretion flow (such as advection-dominated accretion flow) is usually optically thin in the radial direction, therefore the photons produced at one radius can travel for a long distance without being absorbed and heat or cool electrons at other radii via Compton scattering. This effect has been ignored in most previous works on hot accretion flows and is the focus of this paper. If the...
متن کاملNumerical models of black hole accretion flows
Black hole accretion flows are the hot, magnetized, turbulent plasma that surround black holes in astrophysical settings and in some cases make them the most luminous objects in the universe. I review recent developments in the numerical modeling of these plasmas. For weakly radiating flows it is now possible to follow the dynamics of the plasma by integrating the equations of general relativis...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Structure of Nonradiative Black Hole Accretion Flows
We analyze three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a nonradiative accretion flow around a black hole using a pseudo-Newtonian potential. The flow originates from a torus initially centered at 100 gravitational (Schwarzschild) radii. Accretion is driven by turbulent stresses generated selfconsistently by the magnetorotational instability. The resulting flow has three well-defi...
متن کاملExcitation of Low-Frequency QPOs in Black Hole Accretion Flows
We present the results of global three dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of black hole accretion flows. We focus on the dependence of numerical results on the gas temperature Tout supplied from the outer region. General relativistic effects are taken into account using the pseudo-Newtonian potential. We ignore the radiative cooling of the accreting gas. The initial state is a torus w...
متن کاملSpallation of Iron in Black Hole Accretion Flows
In the local Galactic interstellar medium there is approximate energy equipartition between cosmic rays, magnetic fields and radiation. If this holds in the central regions of AGN, in particular Seyfert galaxies, then consideral nuclear spallation of Fe occurs, resulting in enhanced abundances of the sub-Fe elements Ti, V, Cr and Mn. These elements produce a cluster of X-ray flourescence lines ...
