On the two temeperature conditions for accretion disks. (1989). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 17(1), 85-89. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1989rmxaa..17...85m
Abstract
The authors have analysed the constraints that the turbulent Mach number (α), accretion rate (M˙) and mass (M) of a compact object should satisfy in order that the solution for the two temperature disk models to be self-consistent with the requirements of the model. They found that consistency is met whenever 9.13 × 10-3/α < [M˙17S/α M34r3/2]1/2 < r-1/2. This imposes severe constraints in the system. In particular, Cygnus X-1 satisfies this criterion just for mildly subsonic turbulence (α > 0.5). It is shown that, even for such a high value of α, conduction is the main energy transport process.Similar Articles
