Radiation pressure instability driven variability in the accreting black holes

Abstract

The time dependent evolution of the accretion disk around black hole is computed. The classical description of the $\alpha$-viscosity is adopted so the evolution is driven by the instability operating in the innermost radiation-pressure dominated part of the accretion disk. We assume that the optically thick disk always extends down to the marginally stable orbit so it is never evacuated completely. We include the effect of the advection, coronal dissipation and vertical outflow. We show that the presence of the corona and/or the outflow reduce the amplitude of the outburst. If only about half of the energy is dissipated in the disk (with the other half dissipated in the corona and carried away by the outflow) the outburst amplitude and duration are consistent with observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105. Viscous evolution explains in a natural way the lack of direct transitions from the state C to the state B in color-color diagram of this source. Further reduction of the fraction of energy dissipated in the optically thick disk switches off the outbursts which may explain why they are not seen in all high accretion rate sources being in the Very High State.
