متن کاملThree-dimensional Radiative Properties of Hot Accretion Flows onto the Galactic Centre Black Hole
By solving radiative transfer equations, we examine three-dimensional radiative properties of a magnetohydrodynamic accretion flow model confronting with the observed spectrum of Sgr A*, in the vicinity of supermassive black hole at the Galactic centre. As a result, we find that the core of radio emission is larger than the size of the event horizon shadow and its peak location is shifted from ...
متن کاملX-ray Images of Hot Accretion Flows
We consider the X-ray emission due to bremsstrahlung processes from sphericallysymmetric low radiative-efficiency hot accretion flows around supermassive and galactic black holes. We calculate surface brightness profiles and Michelson visibility functions for a range of density profiles, ρ ∼ r−3/2+p, with 0 < p < 1, to allow for the presence of outflows. We find that although the 1 keV emitting...
متن کاملElectron Heating in Hot Accretion Flows
Local (shearing box) simulations of the nonlinear evolution of the magnetorotational instability in a collisionless plasma show that angular momentum transport by pressure anisotropy (p⊥ 6= p‖, where the directions are defined with respect to the local magnetic field) is comparable to that due to the Maxwell and Reynolds stresses. Pressure anisotropy, which is effectively a large-scale viscosit...
متن کاملHot one-temperature accretion flows revisited
The effectiveness of the thermal coupling of ions and electrons in the context of optically thin, hot accretion flows is investigated in a phenomenological approach. In the limit of complete coupling, we focus on the one-temperature accretion flows around black holes. Based on a global analysis, the results are compared with two-temperature accretion flow models and with the observations of bla...
