Super-eddington Fluxes from Thin Accretion Disks?
Radiation pressure-dominated accretion disks are predicted to exhibit strong density inhomogeneities on scales much smaller than the disk scale height, due to the nonlinear development of photon bubble instability. Radiation would escape from such a “leaky” disk at a rate higher than that predicted by standard accretion disk theory. The disk scale height is then smaller than that of a similar d...
متن کاملSuper-eddington Accretion in Grs 1915+105
Classical modelling suggests that, during the RXTE observations studied, GRS 1915+105 was near or above the critical accretion rate and the optically thick inner disk penetrated inside the advection-dominated flow. The system was very unstable leading to a rich pattern of variability , e.g. the rings which might be characteristic to disk instabilities very close to the innermost stable orbit. S...
متن کاملMagnetically Arrested Disk: an Energetically Efficient Accretion Flow
We describe an accretion model around a black hole which behaves like a practical analog of an idealized engine originally proposed by Geroch and Bekenstein. The Geroch-Bekenstein engine has nearly 100% efficiency in converting rest mass of accreting matter into useful energy at infinity. Based on recent 3D MHD simulations of black hole accretion, we assume that the accreting gas drags in a str...
متن کاملSuper-Eddington accretion disc around a Kerr black hole
We calculate the structure of accretion disc around a rapidly rotating black hole with a super-Eddington accretion rate. The luminosity and height of the disc are reduced by the advection effect. In the case of a large viscosity parameter, α > 0.03, the accretion flow strongly deviates from thermodynamic equilibrium and overheats in the central region. With increasing accretion rate, the flow t...
متن کاملCygnus X-2, super-Eddington accretion, and pulsar binaries
We consider the unusual evolutionary state of the secondary star in Cygnus X-2. Spectroscopic data give a low mass (M2 ≃ 0.5− 0.7M⊙) and yet a large radius (R2 ≃ 7R⊙) and high luminosity (L2 ≃ 150L⊙). We show that this star closely resembles a remnant of early massive Case B evolution, during which the neutron star ejected most of the ∼ 2M⊙ transferred from the donor (initial mass M2i ∼ 3.6M⊙) ...
