Winds can ‘blow up’ AGN accretion disc sizes [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Recent multi-band variability studies have revealed that active galactic nucleus (AGN) accretion disc sizes are generally larger than the predictions of the classical thin disc by a factor of $2\sim 3$.

Eccentric accretion discs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1994
We obtain evolutionary equations for non-stationary viscous accretion discs in which particles are orbiting along Keplerian ellipses that are slowly drifting towards the centre. It is shown that, for any reasonable viscosity law, stationary accretion is possible, with all orbiting particles moving with the same eccentricity.

Dust inflated accretion disc as the origin of the broad line region in active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Broad Line Region (BLR) in AGN is composed of dense gas ($\sim 10^{11}$ cm$^{-3}$) on sub-pc scale, which absorbs about 30 per cent of the ionising continuum.

Phase-resolved optical and X-ray spectroscopy of low-mass X-ray binary X1822-371 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
(Abridged) X1822-371 is the prototypical accretion disc corona X-ray source, a low-mass X-ray binary viewed at very high inclination, thereby allowing the disc structure and extended disc coronal regions to be visible.

A large accretion disc of extreme eccentricity in the TDE ASASSN-14li [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
In the canonical model for tidal disruption events (TDEs), the stellar debris circularizes quickly to form an accretion disk of size about twice the orbital pericenter of the star.

ACCRETION DISCS AROUND BLACK HOLES: DEVELOPEMENT OF THEORY

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Standard accretion disk theory is formulated which is based on the local heat balance. The energy produced by a turbulent viscous heating is supposed to be emitted to the sides of the disc.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL HYDRODYNAMICAL SIMULATION OF LOW/HARD AND HIGH/SOFT STATES IN ACCRETION DISCS OF MICROQUASARS AND QUASARS ON BASE OF UNDEFINED PRECESSION

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
In this study, the models of slaved precession of accretion disc and donors radiationdriven wind were performed using three-dimensional numerical astrophysical methods by the example of microquasar Cyg X-1. As is shown, in the course of precession of the

Long-term evolution of accretion discs in Be/X-ray binaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We numerically study the long-term evolution of the accretion disc around the neutron star in a coplanar Be/X-ray binary with a short period and a moderate eccentricity. From three dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations, we find that the

Accretion Disc Theory: From the Standard Model Until Advection [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Accretion disc theory was first developed as a theory with the local heat balance, where the whole energy produced by a viscous heating was emitted to the sides of the disc.

Probing the geometry and motion of AGN coronae through accretion disc emissivity profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To gain a better understanding of the inner disc region that comprises active galactic nuclei it is necessary to understand the pattern in which the disc is illuminated (the emissivity profile) by X-rays emitted from the continuum source above the black ...
