Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows
Eliot Quataert, Andrei Gruzinov
Non-radiating, advection-dominated, accretion flows are convectively unstable. We calculate the two-dimensional (r-theta) structure of such flows assuming that (1) convection trans…

The Cooling Flow to Accretion Flow Transition
Eliot Quataert, Ramesh Narayan
Cooling flows in galaxy clusters and isolated elliptical galaxies are a source of mass for fueling accretion onto a central supermassive black hole. We calculate the dynamics of ac…

What is the Accretion Rate in Sgr A*?
Eliot Quataert, Ramesh Narayan, Mark Reid
The radio source Sgr A* at the center of our Galaxy is believed to be a 2.6 x 10^6 solar mass black hole which accretes gas from the winds of nearby stars. We show that limits on t…
