چکیده

We investigate newtonian description of accreting compact bodies with hard surfaces, including luminosity and selfgravitation of polytropic perfect fluids. This nonlinear integro-differential problem reduces, under appropriate boundary conditions, to an algebraic relation between luminosity and the gas abundance in stationary spherically symmetric flows. There exist, for a given luminosity, asymptotic mass and the asymptotic temperature, two sub-critical solutions that bifurcate from a critical point. They differ by the fluid content and the mass of the compact centre.

Nonuniqueness of stationary accretion in the Shakura model

We investigate the accretion onto luminous bodies with hard surfaces within the framework of newtonian theory. The accreting gases are assumed to be polytropes and their selfgravitation is included. A remarkable feature of the model is that under proper boundary conditions some parameters of the sonic point are the same as in the Bondi model and the relation between luminosity and the gas abund...

State Transitions in Bright Galactic X-ray Binaries: Luminosities Span by Two Orders of Magnitude

Using X-ray monitoring observations with the All Sky Monitor (ASM) on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board the Swift, we are able to study the spectral state transitions occurred in about 20 bright persistent and transient black hole and neutron star binaries. We have confirmed that there is a correlation between the X-ray luminosity correspo...

A possible mechanism for QPOs modulation in neutron star sources

It was pointed out by Paczyński (1987) that the X-ray luminosity of accreting neutron stars is very sensitive to the physical properties of the accretion flow close to the innermost stable circular orbit. The X-ray radiation is dominated by that emitted in the boundary layer, where accreted matter hits a star surface. The X-ray luminosity of the boundary layer is proportional to the local accre...

DYNAMICS OF MUDBANKS ALONG A COAST EXPERIENCING RECURRING EPISODES OF EROSION AND ACCRETION

The morphological states of Guyana’s coastal system, at various spatial and temporal scales, are found to be influenced by the formation and migration of mudbanks. Stationary and propagating mudbanks along the coast are investigated with the use of multiple data sources, including aerial photographs, satellite imagery, GPS measurements, and a time series of coastal profile data (1941-1987...

General relativistic hydrodynamic flows around a static compact object in final stages of accretion flow

Dynamics of stationary axisymmetric configuration of the viscous accreting fluids surrounding a non-rotating compact object in final stages of accretion flow is presented here. For the special case of thin disk approximation, the relativistic fluid equations ignoring self-gravity of the disk are derived in Schwarzschild geometry. For two different state equations, two sets of self-consistent an...
