Black Hole Accretion: From Quasars to Nano-Quasars
Abstract
In this review we shall comment on a few recent findings which strengthen the view that the black hole accretion has substantial amount of sub-Keplerian component. The manifestation of this component is many fold. We discuss some of them. A general outline of the complex structure that emerges from the multitude of observations is presented. A detailed outline of what might be going on in outburst sources is also discussed. The relationship amount the spectral and timing properties can be best understood by this picture. We claim that the sub-Keplerian advective disk paradigm is a complete package. Since signatures of sub-Keplerian motion is already increasing in the literature, the whole package must be correct.
