Radiative Transfer in Obliquely Illuminated Accretion Disks
The illumination of an accretion disk around a black hole or neutron star by the central compact object or the disk itself often determines its spectrum, stability, and dynamics. The transport of radiation within the disk is in general a multi-dimensional, non-axisymmetric problem, which is challenging to solve. Here, I present a method of decomposing the radiative transfer equation that descri...
متن کاملRadiative Transfer in Relativistic Accretion-Disk Winds
Radiative transfer in a relativistic accretion disk wind is examined under the plane-parallel approximation in the fully special relativistic treatment. For an equilibrium flow, where the flow speed and the source function are constant, the emergent intensity is analytically obtained. In such an equilibrium flow the usual limb-darkening effect does not appear, since the source function is const...
متن کاملRadiative Transfer in Accretion Disk Winds
Radiative transfer equation in an accretion disk wind is examined analytically and numerically under the plane-parallel approximation in the subrelativistic regime of (v/c), where v is the wind vertical velocity. Emergent intensity is analytically obtained for the case of a large optical depth, where the flow speed and the source function are almost constant. The usual limb-darkening effect, wh...
متن کاملNumerical methods for multidimensional radiative transfer∗
This paper presents a continuous finite element method for solving the resonance line transfer problem in moving media. The algorithm is capable of dealing with three spatial dimensions, using hierarchically structured grids which are locally refined by means of duality-based a-posteriori error estimates. Application of the method to coherent isotropic scattering and complete redistribution giv...
متن کاملRadiative Efficiency of Collisionless Accretion
Radiative efficiency, η ≡ L/Ṁc, of a slowly accreting black hole is estimated using a two-temperature model of accretion. The radiative efficiency depends on the magnetic field strength near the Schwarzschild radius. For weak magnetic fields, β ≡ B/8πp ∼< 10 , the low efficiency η ∼ 10 assumed in some theoretical models is achieved. For β > 10, a significant fraction of viscous heat is dissipat...
