Spectral and polarization properties of black hole accretion disc emission: including absorption effects
Roberto Taverna, Lorenzo Marra, Stefano Bianchi +5
The study of radiation emitted from black hole accretion discs represents a crucial way to understand the main physical properties of these sources, and in particular the black hol…

Towards a complete description of spectra and polarization of black hole accretion disks: albedo profiles and returning radiation
Roberto Taverna, Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak +4
Accretion disks around stellar-mass black holes (BHs) emit radiation peaking in the soft X-rays when the source is in the thermal state. The emerging photons are polarized and, for…
