The structure of the inner edge of the accretion disk around a black hole can be altered, if the matter inside the marginally stable orbit is magnetically connected to the disk. In this case, a non-zero torque is exerted on its inner edge,…

We show that viscous, transonic accretion disks which start with sub-Keplerian angular momentum at the outer boundary reproduce the features of the so-called thick, thin, slim and other accretion disk models depending upon the accretion…
