On the thermal stability of transonic accretion discs
Nonlinear time-dependent calculations have been carried out in order to study the evolution of the thermal instability for vertically integrated, non self-gravitating models of optically thick, transonic, slim accretion discs around black holes. In these calculations we investigated only the original version of the slim disc model with low viscosity (α = 0.001) and for a stellar mass (10M⊙) bla...
متن کاملThermal stability of self - gravitating , optically thin accretion disks
Your thesaurus codes are: missing; you have not inserted them ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Thermal stability of self-gravitating, optically thin accretion disks Abstract In the dynamics of accretion disks, the presence of collective effects associated with the self-gravity of the disk is expected to affect not only the momentum transport, but also the relevant energy balance equations , which cou...
متن کاملTesting thermal reprocessing in AGN accretion discs
The thermal reprocessing hypothesis in AGN, where EUV/X-ray photons are reprocessed by the accretion disc into optical/UV photons, predicts wavelength-dependent time delays between the optical continuum at different wavelengths. Recent photometric monitoring by Sergeev et al. has shown that the time-delay is observed in 14 AGN, and generally seen to increase with increasing wavelength, as predi...
متن کاملThe effect of dissipative corona on the structure and stability of cold optically thick accretion disks at high accretion rates
The vertical structure of optically thick accretion disks is investigated in the two-zone approximation. The disk is divided into an underlying disk and a corona, where the latter is defined as the upper surface layers for which the effective optical depth is unity. It is found that a significant part of the accretion flow (or dissipation rate) can take place in the corona if the scale height o...
متن کاملStability of helium accretion discs in ultracompact binaries
Context. Stellar companions of accreting neutron stars in ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are hydrogen-deficient. Their helium or C/O accretion discs are strongly X-ray irradiated. Both the chemical composition and irradiation determine the disc stability with respect to thermal and viscous perturbations. At shorter periods, UCXBs are persistent, whereas longer-period systems are mostly tr...
