The high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) that punctuate the light curves of X-ray binary systems present a window onto the intrinsic properties of stellar-mass black holes and hence a testbed for general relativity. One…
We study a truncated accretion disk using a well-resolved, semi-global magnetohydrodynamic simulation that is evolved for many dynamical times (6096 inner disk orbits). The spectral properties of hard state black hole binary systems and…
Accretion discs are present around both stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries and supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. A wide variety of circumstantial evidence implies that many of these discs are warped. The standard…
Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are the low-frequency QPOs most commonly observed during the hard spectral state of X-ray binary systems. The leading model for these QPOs is the Lense-Thirring precession of a hot, geometrically…
Aims: We determine the steady-state of an axisymmetric thin accretion disc with an internal dynamo around a magnetised star. Methods: Starting from the vertically integrated equations of magnetohydrodynamics we derive a single ordinary…
The purpose of this paper is to explore how accretion discs manifest the phenomenon of transient growth on a global scale. We investigate analytically the time response of a thin accretion disc to particular axisymmetric perturbations. To…
We investigate the effects of subsonic turbulence on a normal mode of oscillation [a possible origin of the high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) within some black hole accretion disks]. We consider perturbations of a…
We extend our previous studies of shock waves and shock-free solutions in thin accretion and winds in pseudo-Newtonian geometry to the case when the flow is ``two-dimensional'' and around a ``Kerr black hole''. We present equations for…
The inner part of a thin accretion disk around a Kerr black hole can serve as an important tool to study the physics of the strong gravity regime. A tilt in such a disk with respect to the black hole spin axis is particularly useful for…
We investigate the structure and emission properties of a thin accretion disk around a rotating charged black hole described by an effective higher-curvature-inspired spacetime, constructed as a phenomenological deformation of the Kerr…
A numerical model of a steady state, thin accretion disk with a constant effective speed of sound is presented. We demonstrate that `zero torque' inner boundary condition is a reasonable approximation provided that the disk thickness,…
The origin of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole accretion flow remains uncertain, particularly regarding the role of magnetic field configurations in shaping disk structure and variability signatures. We investigate this…
By studying three-dimensional, radiative, global simulations of sub-Eddington, geometrically thin black hole accretion flows we show that thin disks which are dominated by magnetic pressure are stable against thermal instability. Such disks…
Many accreting black holes and neutron stars exhibit rapid variability in their X-ray light curves, termed quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). The most commonly observed type is the low-frequency ($\lesssim 10$ Hz), type-C QPO, while only a…
An important and widely neglected aspect of the interaction between an accretion disc and a massive companion with a coplanar orbit is the vertical component of the tidal force. As shown by Lubow, the response of the disc to vertical…
We use three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, in a pseudo-Newtonian potential, to study geometrically thin accretion disc flows crossing the marginally stable circular orbit around black holes. We concentrate on vertically…
We study viscous transonic accretion flows in vertical equilibrium in Kerr geometry. We employ the pseudo-Kerr formalism which accurately describes transonic flows around Kerr black holes and is applicable for modelling observational data.…
We solved analytically viscous two-dimensional (2D) fluid equations for accretion and outflows in spherical polar coordinates ($r, \theta, \phi$) and obtained explicitly flow variables in $r-$ and $\theta -$directions around black holes…
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…
We model the overall shape of an accretion disc in a semi-detached binary system in which mass is transfered on to a spinning black hole the spin axis of which is misaligned with the orbital rotation axis. We assume the disc is in a steady…
