2 Flux enhancement in the inner region of a geometrically and optically thick accretion disk
نویسندگان
چکیده
The surface flux (and the corresponding observed flux) of a geometrically thick " funnel " shaped disk is computed taking into account the radiation impinging on the surface from other parts of the disk. It is found that the ratio of the maximum apparent luminosity to the real luminosity of the disk is only a factor ≈ 5 even when the opening angle of the disk is small (≈ 15 o). Thus, geometrically beamed emission from " funnel " shaped sub-Eddington disks around stellar mass black holes, cannot explain the Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources detected in nearby galaxies.

Soft state of Cygnus X - 1 : stable disk and unstable corona
Two component X–ray spectra (soft multicolor black body plus harder power law) are frequently observed from accreting black holes. These components are presumably associated with the different parts of the accretion flow (optically thick and optically thin respectively) in the vicinity of the compact source. Timing analysis further suggests that most of the aperiodic variability of the X–ray fl...
متن کاملObservations of the Cooling Accretion Disk of Xte J 1817 − 330
The black hole candidate X-ray transient XTE J1817−330 was observed by the Swift satellite over 160 days of its 2006 outburst with the XRT and UVOT instruments. At the start of the observations, the XRT spectra show that the 0.6-10 keV emission is dominated by an optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk with an inner disk temperature of ∼ 0.8 keV, indicating that the source was in a h...
متن کاملThe Spectral States of Black Hole X-ray Binary Sources
A framework for the interpretation of the spectral states of black hole X-ray transients based on the diversity of accretion disk models is introduced. Depending on the mass accretion rate, it is proposed that the accretion disk is described by one or a combination of the following structures: optically thick disk, advection-dominated disk, corona-disk, and non-steady state disk. In particular,...
متن کاملSuper - Eddington Black - Hole Models for SS 433
We examine highly super-Eddington black-hole models for SS 433, based on two-dimensional hydrodynamical calculations coupled with radiation transport. The super-Eddington accretion flow with a small viscosity parameter, α = 10, results in a geometrically and optically thick disk with a large opening angle of ∼ 60 to the equatorial plane and a very rarefied, hot, and optically thin high-velocity...
متن کاملTemperature Inversion on the Surface of Externally Heated Optically Thick Multigrain Dust Clouds
It was recently discovered that the temperature in the surface layer of externally heated optically thick gray dust clouds increases with the optical depth for some distance from the surface, as opposed to the normal decrease in temperature with distance in the rest of the cloud. This temperature inversion is a result of efficient absorption of diffuse flux from the cloud interior by the surfac...
