Hybrid Thermal-Nonthermal Synchrotron Emission from Hot Accretion Flows
We investigate the effect of a hybrid electron population, consisting of both thermal and non-thermal particles, on the synchrotron spectrum, image size, and image shape of a hot accretion flow onto a supermassive black hole. We find two universal features in the emitted synchrotron spectrum: (i) a prominent shoulder at low (∼< 10 11 Hz) frequencies that is weakly dependent on the shape of the ...
متن کاملLuminous hot accretion flows: thermal equilibrium curve and thermal stability
In a previous paper, we presented the global solution of a new accretion flow model, namely luminous hot accretion flows (LHAFs). In this Letter, we first show the corresponding thermal equilibrium curve of LHAFs in the mass accretion rate vs. surface density diagram. Then we examine its thermal stability again local perturbations. We find that LHAFs are thermally unstable when thermal conducti...
متن کاملThermal Conduction and the Stability of Hot Accretion Flows
Recently, Medvedev & Narayan (2001) discovered a new type of accretion flow, a hot settling flow around a rapidly rotating neutron star. The flow is cooling-dominated and energetically similar to the Shapiro, Lightman, & Eardley (1976, SLE) solution. Since the SLE solution is known to be thermally unstable, one might suspect that the new solution would also be unstable. However, due to the very...
متن کاملX-ray Images of Hot Accretion Flows
We consider the X-ray emission due to bremsstrahlung processes from sphericallysymmetric low radiative-efficiency hot accretion flows around supermassive and galactic black holes. We calculate surface brightness profiles and Michelson visibility functions for a range of density profiles, ρ ∼ r−3/2+p, with 0 < p < 1, to allow for the presence of outflows. We find that although the 1 keV emitting...
متن کاملElectron Heating in Hot Accretion Flows
Local (shearing box) simulations of the nonlinear evolution of the magnetorotational instability in a collisionless plasma show that angular momentum transport by pressure anisotropy (p⊥ 6= p‖, where the directions are defined with respect to the local magnetic field) is comparable to that due to the Maxwell and Reynolds stresses. Pressure anisotropy, which is effectively a large-scale viscosit...
