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…
