Interpreting radiative efficiency in radio-loud AGN

arXiv:1804.04043 · doi:10.1038/s41550-018-0424-1

Abstract

Radiative efficiency in radio-loud AGN is governed by the scaled accretion rate on to the central black hole rather than directly by the type of accreted matter; while it correlates with real physical differences, it does not give us unambiguous information about particular objects.
