Assuming self-similarity of the first kind, we get three possible values p=1/2, 1, 3/2 for the exponent describing the density profile, rho r^{-p}, of a non-radiative (and hence quasi-spherical) accretion flow. The high and low p cases are…
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…
A widely accepted picture of an accretion flow in the luminous soft spectral state of X-ray binary systems is a geometrically thin disc structure much like the classic analytic solution of Shakura \& Sunyaev. Although the analytic models…
