Mass loss appears to be a common phenomenon among disk-accreting astrophysical systems. An outflow emanating from an accretion disk can act as a sink for mass, angular momentum and energy and can therefore alter the dissipation rates and…

A self-similar solution for time evolution of quasi-spherical, self-gravitating accretion flows is obtained under the assumption that the generated heat by viscosity is retained in the flow. The solutions are parameterized by the ratio of…

Accretion disks around black holes in which the shear stress is proportional to the total pressure, the accretion rate is more than a small fraction of Eddington, and the matter is distributed smoothly are both thermally and viscously…

The influence of the outer boundary condition (OBC) on the dynamics and radiation of optically thin accretion flow is investigated. Bremsstrahlung and synchrotron radiations amplified by Comptonization are taken into account and…

We show that accretion disks, both in the subcritical and supercritical accretion rate regime, may exhibit significant amplitude luminosity oscillations. The luminosity time behavior has been obtained by performing a set of time-dependent…

We study the spectral properties of a very general class of accretion disks which can be decomposed into three distinct components apart from a shock at $r=r_s$: (1) An optically thick Keplerian disk on the equatorial plane ($r>r_s$), (2) A…

We investigate the time evolution of luminous accretion disks around black holes, conducting the two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations. We adopt the alpha prescription for the viscosity. The radial-azimuthal component of…

We build a self-consistent model of a warm scattering corona near an accreting black hole in Kerr geometry, in the regime of slow ($\sim 0.01$ Eddington) mass accretion. An iterative Monte Carlo procedure is developed that incorporates…

The paper investigates the influence of accretion heating and turbulent heat conduction on the equilibrium of protoplanetary disks, extending the 2D axis-symmetric passive disk model of Flock (Flock et al. 2016, ApJ 827, 144). The model…

We investigate the response of an accretion disk to the presence of a perturbing protoplanet embedded in the disk through time dependent hydrodynamical simulations. The disk is treated as a two-dimensional viscous fluid and the planet is…

In this paper, we extend the foundational work of Bondi (1952) to include the effects of radiative feedback in gas-pressure-dominated environments. We construct steady-state spherically symmetric accretion solutions including radiative…

We solve the two-dimensional hydrodynamic equations of hot accretion flow in the presence of the thermal conduction. The flow is assumed to be in steady-state and axisymmetric, and self-similar approximation is adopted in the radial…

The physical mechanisms driving angular momentum transport in accretion discs are still unknown. Although it is generally accepted that, in hot discs, the turbulence triggered by the magneto-rotational instability is at the origin of the…

We explore the thermodynamic and global structural properties of a local patch of an accretion disk whose parameters were chosen so that radiation pressure and gas pressure would be comparable in magnitude. Heating, radiative transport, and…

A recent approach to simulating localized feedback from active galactic nuclei by Power et al. (2011) uses an accretion disc particle to represent both the black hole and its accretion disc. We have extrapolated and adapted this approach to…

It is believed that the spectral state transitions of the outbursts in X-ray binaries (XRBs) are triggered by the rise of the mass accretion rate due to underlying disc instabilities. Recent observations found that characteristics of disc…
