Hot accretion flows around black holes
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

Advection-dominated accretion and the black hole event horizon
R Narayan, JE McClintock - New Astronomy Reviews, 2008 - Elsevier
As the luminosity of an accreting black hole drops to a few percent of Eddington, the
spectrum switches from the familiar soft state to a hard state that is well-described by a …
