We investigate the dynamics of transonic advective accretion flows around spinning black holes in the presence of viscosity. The spacetime of a Kerr black hole is approximated using a pseudo-potential. We study viscously driven shock…
We study the properties of the dissipative accretion flow around rotating black holes in presence of mass loss. We obtain the complete set of global inflow-outflow solutions in the steady state by solving the underlying conservation…
Low and intermediate frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are thought to be due to oscillations of Comptonizing regions or hot blobs embedded in Keplerian disks. Any movement of these perturbations is expected systematically to…
We study the time dependent properties of sub-Keplerian viscous accretion flow around the black holes. We find that rotating matter feels centrifugal barrier on the way towards the black holes and eventually, shock transition is triggered…
Frequencies of the three quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) modes observed simultaneously in the accreting black hole GRO J1655-40 are compared with the predictions of models. Models in which all three QPO signals are produced at the same…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are very common in black hole accretion systems that are seen from the modulations in luminosity. Many supermassive black hole sources (e.g., RE J1034+396, 1H~0707-495, MCG-6-30-15, 1ES~1927+654,…
Two-dimensional accretion flows near black holes have been investigated by time-dependent hydrodynamical calculations. We assume that the flow is axisymmetric and that radiative losses of internal energy are negligible, so that the disc is…
Using two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the stability of shocked accretion flows around black holes under non-axisymmetric perturbations. By systematically exploring the parameter space of specific energy and angular…
This is the first of two papers in which we address the physics of the low-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) of X-ray binaries, in particular those hosting a black hole. We discuss and repeat the recent analysis and spectral…
We propose a unified model to explain Quasi-Periodic-Oscillation (QPO), particularly of high frequency, observed from black hole and neutron star systems globally. We consider accreting systems to be damped harmonic oscillators exhibiting…

We investigate the time evolution of sub-Keplerian transonic accretion flow onto a non-rotating black hole using axisymmetric viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We simulate the accretion flow using boundary values from semi-analytical…
We develop a simple physical model to describe the most common type of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in a number of accreting black hole systems, as well as the shape of the relativistically broadened iron emission…
Low and intermediate frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are thought to be due to oscillations of Comptonizing regions or hot regions embedded in Keplerian discs. Observational evidence of evolutions of QPOs would therefore be very…
When a bright spot in a high-inclination disk orbits a black hole, its light is periodically lensed and Doppler shifted. If the spots occupy a narrow range of radii, a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) will result. I calculate the QPO…
Quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) has been detected in several accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems, including active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, despite that several models have been…

The numerical investigation of Bondi-Hoyle accretion onto a moving black hole has a long history, both in Newtonian and in general-relativistic physics. By performing new two-dimensional and general-relativistic simulations onto a rotating…
Observations from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer have shown the existence of high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) in the X-ray flux from accreting black hole binary systems. In at least two systems, these HFQPOs come in…
