The plunging region of thin accretion discs across the black hole spin range
Jake Rule, Andrew Mummery, Steven Balbus +2
We compute and test analytic models for the plunging region dynamics, thermodynamics, and magnetic fields against dedicated 3D global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD…

The plunging region of a thin accretion disc around a Schwarzschild black hole
Jake Rule, Andrew Mummery, Steven Balbus +2
A set of analytic solutions for the plunging region thermodynamics have been developed recently under the assumption that the fluid undergoes a gravity-dominated geodesic plunge in…
