Abstract:

The existence of outflow in the advection dominated accretion flows has been confirmed by both numerical simulations and observations. The outow models for ADAF have been investigated by several groups with a simple self similar solution. But this solution is inaccurate at the inner regions and can not explain the emitted spectrum of the flow; so, it is necessary to obtain a global solution for ADAFs with outflow. In this paper, we use a simplified global solution to study the structure of ADAF in the presence of outflow. In this method which is proposed by Yuan et al (2008, hereafter YMN08), the radial momentum equation is replaced by a simple algebraic relation between angular velocity and Keplerian angular velocity to avoid the difficulty of the calculation of global solution. We consider the radial dependence for mass accretion rate M =M out(r/rout)swhere s is a constant and we do not change the other dynamical equations. We investigate the variation of physical quantity of accretion flow which is caused by outflow. The results that we obtained comply with our expectations from the influence of outflow on the structure of accretion flow.

A simplified global solution for an advection-dominated accretion flow

When we model black hole accretion sources such as active galactic nuclei and black hole X-ray binaries as advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs), it is neccesary to use the global solution to the equations rather than the simpler self-similar solution, since the latter is inaccurate in the region near the black hole where most of the radiation is emitted. However, technically, it is a dif...

Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows with Causal Viscosity

Aims. We present the basic equations and sample solutions for the steady-state global transonic solutions of the advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) with causal viscosity prescription. The procedures of the stable numerical calculations and all explicit formula to obtain the solutions of ADAFs are also presented. Methods. We solve the transonic solutions of ADAFs by using the explicit n...

Advection-dominated Accretion: a Self-similar Solution

We consider viscous rotating accretion flows in which most of the viscously dissipated energy is stored as entropy rather than being radiated. Such advection-dominated flows may occur when the optical depth is either very small or very large. We obtain a family of self-similar solutions where the temperature of the accreting gas is nearly virial and the flow is quasi-spherical. The gas rotates ...

Advection-dominated Accretion Flows: Optically Thin Solutions

General properties of advection-dominated accretion ows are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the optically thin branch of solutions, which has very high ion and electron temperatures and is thermally stable. This solution branch has been applied to a number of low-luminosity accreting black holes. The models have resolved some puzzles and have provided a straightforward explanation of th...

Particle Heating in Advection-dominated Accretion Flows

I review particle heating by MHD turbulence in collision-less plasmas appropriate to advection-dominated accretion flows. These considerations suggest that the preferential turbulent heating of protons assumed by theoretical models is only achieved for relatively subthermal magnetic fields.

Spectral 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 ...
