Hot accretion flows around black holes

F Yuan, R Narayan - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
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 …

General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of magnetically choked accretion flows around black holes

JC McKinney, A Tchekhovskoy… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Black hole (BH) accretion flows and jets are qualitatively affected by the presence of ordered
magnetic fields. We study fully 3D global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) …

Numerical simulation of hot accretion flows. III. Revisiting wind properties using the trajectory approach

F Yuan, Z Gan, R Narayan, A Sadowski… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Previous MHD simulations have shown that wind must exist in black hole hot accretion
flows. In this paper, we continue our study by investigating the detailed properties of wind …

Fluorescent iron lines as a probe of astrophysical black hole systems

CS Reynolds, MA Nowak - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
With most physicists and astrophysicists in agreement that black holes do indeed exist, the
focus of astrophysical black hole research has shifted to the detailed properties of these …

Neutrino absorption and other physics dependencies in neutrino-cooled black hole accretion discs
