Disk Instability Models
Jean-Pierre Lasota, Jean-Marie Hameury
We review various aspects of disk instability models. We discuss problems and difficulties and present ways that have been suggested to solve them.
On Black Hole Spins and Dichotomy of Quasars
Rafal Moderski, Marek Sikora, Jean-Pierre Lasota
Most quasars are known to be radio quiet and according to the ``spin paradigm'', which connects their radio-loudness with the value of the black hole spin, they must harbor very sl…
Advection-Dominated Flows and the X-ray Delay in the Outburst of GRO J1655-40
J. -M. Hameury, J. -P. Lasota, J. E. McClintock +1
We show that the time delay between the optical and X-ray outbursts of the black-hole soft X-ray transient source GRO J1655-40, observed in April 1996, requires that the accretion…
A model for WZ Sge with "standard" values of alpha
J. M. Hameury, J. P. Lasota, J. M. Hure
We present a model for the dwarf nova WZ Sge which does not require assuming unusually and unexplained low values of the viscosity alpha-parameter during exceptionally long quiesce…
