Microlensing observations indicate that quasar accretion discs have half-light radii larger than expected from standard theoretical predictions based on quasar fluxes or black hole masses. Blackburne and colleagues have also found a very…

{The Galactic microquasar SS 433 is very luminous and ejects opposite jets at approximately one quarter the speed of light. It is regarded as a super-Eddington accretor but until recently there were no observations of accretion.} % aims…

We investigate one of the best examples of disk+jet systems around an early B-type (proto)star, IRAS20126+4104. This object is an ideal target for resolution of its disk and the determination of its physical and kinematical structure.…

Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar spectra taken at multiple epochs, we find that the composite flux density differences in the rest frame wavelength range 1300-6000 AA can be fit by a standard thermal accretion disk model where…

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 have investigated the influence of X-ray irradiation on the vertical structure of the outer accretion disk in low-mass X-ray binaries by performing a self-consistent calculation of the vertical structure and X-ray radiation transfer in…

Powered by supermassive black holes at their centers, quasars are among the most luminous objects in the Universe, serving as important probes of cosmic history and galaxy evolution. The size of the accretion disc surrounding the black hole…

We present single-epoch multi-wavelength optical-NIR observations of the "anomalous" lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219, made using the Magellan 6.5-metre Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The data clearly resolve the anomalous…

We have calculated several representative models of vertical structure of an accretion disk around a supermassive Kerr black hole. The interaction of radiation and matter is treated self-consistently, taking into account departures from LTE…

This paper sets out to measure the timescale of quasar variability with a view to new understanding of the size of accretion discs in active galactic nuclei. Previous attempts to measure such timescales have been based on sparsely sampled…

To address the discrepancy where disk sizes exceed those predicted by standard models, we explore two extensions to disk size estimates within the UV/optical wavelength range: disk winds and color correction. We provide detailed,…

We present evidence for ultraviolet/optical microlensing in the gravitationally lensed quasar Q0957+561. We combine new measurements from our optical monitoring campaign at the United States Naval Observatory, Flagstaff (USNO) with…

The structure of the accretion disk in AGN is still an unsolved question, especially how it may change with Eddington ratio. Here we examine the accretion disk in the super-Eddington AGN I Zw 1 using reverberation mapping of the optical…

We simulate the viscous evolution of an accretion disc around a spinning black hole. In general any such disc is misaligned, and warped by the Lense-Thirring effect. Unlike previous studies we use effective viscosities constrained to be…

The best-fitting 2-dimensional plane within the 3-dimensional space of spiral galaxy disk observables (rotational velocity v_{rot}, central disk surface brightness \mu_0 = -2.5log I_0, and disk scale-length h) has been constructed. Applying…

An analysis is presented of a numerical investigation of the dynamics and geometry of accretion discs in binary systems with mass ratios q < 0.1, applicable to ultra-compact X-ray binaries, AM CVn stars and very short period cataclysmic…

Ultraluminous X-ray sources fed by Wolf-Rayet star winds and X-ray bursters in ultracompact binaries with He or C white dwarfs have accretion disks, whose properties may significantly differ from those of pure H alpha-accretion disks. We…

Observations show that the accretion flows in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) probably have a two-component structure with an inner ADAF and an outer truncated accretion disk. As shown by Taam et al. (2012), the truncation…

We study low-mass binary X-ray sources involving stellar mass black holes within massive gravity. Regarding the accretion disk, we adopt the standard model for an optically thick, cool, and geometrically thin disk by Shakura-Sunyaev. For…

We present the continuation of our long-term spectroscopic monitoring of the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237+0305. We investigate the chromatic variations observed in the UV/optical continuum of both quasar images A and B, and…
