The Observational Appearance of Slim Accretion Disks
We reexamine the hypothesis that the optical/UV/soft X-ray continuum of Active Galactic Nuclei is thermal emission from an accretion disk. Previous studies have shown that fitting the spectra with the standard, optically thick and geometrically thin accretion disk models often led to luminosities which contradict the basic assumptions adopted in the standard model. There is no known reason why ...
متن کاملSuper-Eddington black hole accretion: Polish doughnuts and slim disks
The theory of highly super-Eddington black hole accretion, Ṁ ≫ ṀEdd, was developed in the 1980s in Warsaw by Paczyński and his collaborators [1]–[9] in terms of Polish doughnuts , i.e. low viscosity, rotating accretion flows that are optically thick, radiation pressure supported, cooled by advection, and radiatively very inefficient. Polish doughnuts resemble fat tori with two narrow funnels al...
متن کاملAdvection-Dominated Accretion Disks: Geometrically Slim or Thick?
We revisit the vertical structure of black hole accretion disks in spherical coordinates. By comparing the advective cooling with the viscous heating, we show that advection-dominated disks are geometrically thick, i.e., with the half-opening angle ∆θ > 2π/5, rather than slim as supposed previously in the literature.
متن کاملAccretion Disks , Jets and Blazar Variability
Although blazar variability is probably dominated by emission from relativistic jets, accretion disks should be present in all blazars. These disks produce emission over most of the electromagnetic spectrum; various unstable processes operate in those disks which will lead to variable emission. Here I summarize some of the most relevant disk mechanisms for AGN variability. I also discuss some a...
متن کاملAccretion Disks around Young Stars: Lifetimes, Disk Locking and Variability
We report the findings of a comprehensive study of disk accretion and related phenomena in four of the nearest young stellar associations spanning 6-30 million years in age, an epoch that may coincide with the late stages of planet formation. We have obtained ∼650 multi-epoch high-resolution optical spectra of 100 lowmass stars that are likely members of the η Chamaeleontis (∼6 Myr), TW Hydrae ...
