Radiatively driven electron-positron jets from two component accretion flows

Abstract

Matter accreting onto black holes has long been known to have standing or oscillating shock waves. The post-shock matter puffs up in the form of a torus, which intercepts soft photons from the outer Keplerian disc and inverse Comptonizes to produce hard photons. The post-shock region also produces jets. We study the interaction of both hard photons and soft photons, with on-axis electron-positron jets. We show that the radiation from post-shock torus accelerates the flow to relativistic velocities, while that from the Keplerian disc has marginal effect. We also show that, the velocity at infinity or terminal velocity $\vartheta$, depends on the shock location in the disc.
