A Self-Consistent Model for the Formation of Relativistic Outflows in Advection-Dominated Accretion Disks with Shocks
Truong Le, Peter A. Becker
In this Letter, we suggest that the relativistic protons powering the outflows emanating from radio-loud systems containing black holes are accelerated at standing, centrifugally-s…
Restrictions on the Physical Prescription for the Viscosity in Advection-Dominated Accretion Disks
Peter A. Becker, Prasad Subramanian
It has recently been demonstrated that the Shakura-Sunyaev prescription for the kinematic viscosity in an advection-dominated accretion disk yields physically reasonable solutions…
Noise storm continua: power estimates for electron acceleration
Prasad Subramanian, Peter A. Becker
We use a generic stochastic acceleration formalism to examine the power () input to nonthermal electrons that cause noise storm continuum emission. T…
Angular momentum transport in accretion disks
Prasad Subramanian, B. S. Pujari, Peter A. Becker
We reexamine arguments advanced by Hayashi & Matsuda (2001), who claim that several simple, physically motivated derivations based on mean free path theory for calculating the visc…
