Title: Black Hole Advective Accretion Disks with Optical Depth Transition

Journal Article · · The Astrophysical Journal
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1086/496964· OSTI ID:875441

We have constructed numerically global solutions of advective accretion disks around black holes that describe a continuous transition between the effectively optically thick outer and optically thin inner disk regions. We have concentrated on models of accretion flows with large mass accretion rates, and we have employed a bridging formula for radiative losses at high and low effective optical depths.
