Accretion Disks Around Black Holes: Twenty Five Years Later

Astrophysics 2016-01-27 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We study the progress of the theory of accretion disks around black holes in last twenty five years and explain why advective disks are the best bet in explaining varied stationary and non-stationary observations from black hole candidates. We show also that the recently proposed advection dominated flows are incorrect.
