Modes of disc accretion onto black holes
A. Merloni
I review our current theoretical understanding of the different possible rotating modes of accretion onto a black hole. I discuss both thick adiabatic flows and radiatively efficie…

Microquasars in the low/hard state: strong coronae, compact jets, and the high frequency variability
A. Merloni
We apply a model of magnetically dominated coronae above standard accretion discs to the low/hard state of galactic black holes. When the disc-corona coupling is accounted for self…

How the X-ray spectrum of a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy may be reflection dominated
A. C. Fabian, D. R. Ballantyne, A. Merloni +3
A model for the inner regions of accretion flows is presented where, due to disc instabilities, cold and dense material is clumped into deep sheets or rings. Surrounding these dens…
