Lyman Edge Features from Accretion Disks Around Maximally Rotating Supermassive Black Hole
Mark W. Sincell
We calculate the amplitude of the Lyman discontinuity for an accretion disk around a maximally rotating black hole. The locally emitted disk spectrum is computed with a previously…
The Quasi-stationary Structure of Radiating Shock Waves I. The One-temperature Fluid
M. W. Sincell, M. Gehmeyr, D. Mihalas
We calculate the quasi-stationary structure of a radiating shock wave propagating through a spherically symmetric shell of cold gas by solving the time-dependent equations of radia…
The Quasi-stationary Structure of Radiating Shock Waves II. The Two-temperature Fluid
M W Sincell, M Gehmeyr, D Mihalas
We solve the equations of radiation hydrodynamics in the two-temperature fluid approximation on an adaptive grid. The temperature structure depends upon the electron-ion energy exc…
The Vertical Structure and Ultraviolet Spectrum of Accretion Disks Heated by Internal Dissipation in Active Galactic Nuclei
Mark W. Sincell, Julian H. Krolik
We present an improved calculation of the vertical structure and ultraviolet spectrum of a dissipative accretion disk in an AGN. We calculate model spectra in which the viscous str…
Multi-Wavelength Variability of the Synchrotron Self-Compton Model for Blazar Emission
Mark W. Sincell
Motivated by recent reports of strongly correlated radio and X-ray variability in 3C279 (Grandi, etal 1995), we have computed the relative amplitudes of variations in the synchrotr…
The Vertical Structure and Ultraviolet Spectrum of X-Ray Irradiated Accretion Disks in Active Galactic Nuclei
Mark W. Sincell, Julian H. Krolik
Motivated by recent work indicating that the UV continuum in AGN may be produced by reradiation of energy absorbed from X-rays irradiating an accretion disk, we present a calculati…
