چکیده
We present a modified description of advection-dominated accretion flows with a geometrical viscosity. A simplified treatment of the dynamics of the flow in the inner relativistic part is suggested and results are compared with the galactic center source Sgr A.

Advection-dominated Accretion: From Sgr A* to other Low-luminosity AGNs
This paper reviews our current understanding of low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) in the context of the advection-dominated accretion flow. The best investigated source, the supermassive black hole in our galactic center, Sgr A*, is emphasized since the physics of accretion should be the same for various LLAGNs except for their different accretion rates. The important role of jets is discussed, but ...
متن کاملWhat Is the Accretion Rate in Sgr a ∗ ?
The radio source Sgr A at the center of our Galaxy is believed to be a 2.6× 10M⊙ black hole which accretes gas from the winds of nearby stars. We show that limits on the X-ray and infrared emission from the Galactic Center provide an upper limit of ∼ 8 × 10M⊙ yr −1 on the mass accretion rate in Sgr A. The advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) model favors a rate <∼ 10 M⊙ yr . In comparison,...
متن کاملAdvection-Dominated Accretion Model of Sagittarius A and Other Accreting Black Holes
Viscous rotating accretion ows around black holes become advection-dominated when the accretion rate _ M is su ciently low. Most of the accretion energy in such ows is stored within the gas and advected radially inward. The temperature is therefore very high, and much of the radiation comes out in hard X-rays and -rays. We have constructed an advection-dominated accretion ow model for the Galac...

The supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy, Sgr A*, is unique because the angular size of the black hole is the largest in the sky thus providing detailed boundary conditions on, and much less freedom for, accretion flow models. In this paper I review advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF; another name is radiatively inefficient accretion flow) models for Sgr A*. This includes t...
متن کاملSpectral Models of Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows with Winds
We calculate spectral models of advection-dominated accretion flows, taking into account the possibility that significant mass may be lost to a wind. We apply the models to the soft X-ray transient V404 Cyg in quiescence and the Galactic center source Sgr A*. We show that there are qualitative degeneracies between the mass loss rate in the wind and parameters characterizing the microphysics of ...
