Bondi-like Accretion Flow Dynamics: The Role of Gravitational Potential

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The formation of massive black holes and their coevolution with host galaxies are pivotal areas of modern astrophysics. Spherical accretion onto a central point mass serves as a foundational framework in cosmological simulations, semi-analytical models ...

Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions. I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 1068. We inject these parameters into the prescription for

Morphology and Mach Number Dependence of Subsonic Bondi–Hoyle Accretion [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We carry out three-dimensional computations of the accretion rate onto an object (of size R _sink and mass m ) as it moves through a uniform medium at a subsonic speed v _∞ . The object is treated as a fully absorbing boundary (e.g., a black hole).

Numerical Simulation of Hot Accretion Flow around Bondi Radius [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Previous numerical simulations have shown that strong winds can be produced in the hot accretion flows around black holes. Most of those studies focus only on the region close to the central black hole, therefore it is unclear whether the wind production

Bondi accretion in early-type galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Accretion on to central massive black holes in galaxies is often modelled with the Bondi solution. In this paper, we study a generalization of the classical Bondi accretion theory, considering the additional effects of the gravitational potential of the ...

Self-interacting dark scalar spikes around black holes via relativistic Bondi accretion

open access: yes, 2023
We consider the spike mass density profile in a dark halo by self-consistently solving the relativistic Bondi accretion of dark matter onto a non-spining black hole of mass M.

On the polytropic Bondi accretion in two-component galaxy models with a central massive BH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In many investigations involving accretion on a central point mass, ranging from observational studies to cosmological simulations, including semi-analytical modelling, the classical Bondi accretion theory is the standard tool widely adopted.

Accretion-modified Stars in Accretion Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei: The Low-luminosity Cases and an Application to Sgr A*

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
In this paper, we investigate the astrophysical processes of stellar-mass black holes (sMBHs) embedded in advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei.

Secular Spin–Orbit Resonances of Black Hole Binaries in AGN Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The spin–orbit misalignment of stellar-mass black hole (sBH) binaries provides important constraints on the formation channels of merging sBHs. Here, we study the role of secular spin–orbit resonance in the evolution of an sBH binary component around a ...

Modeling Gamma-Ray Emission From the High-Mass X-Ray Binary LS 5039 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012
A few high-mass X-ray binaries–consisting of an OB star plus compact companion– have been observed by Fermi and ground-based Cerenkov telescopes like High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) to be sources of very high energy (VHE; up to 30 TeV) γ-rays ...
