Black Hole Accretion Is All About Sub-Keplerian Flows

摘要

We review the advantages of fitting with a Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) which uses only four physical parameters. We then present the results of hydrodynamic simulations to highlight the fact that the primary component of a black hole accretion remains the sub-Keplerian or the low angular momentum flow independent of whether we have a high, intermediate or low mass X-ray binary. Every aspect of spectral and timing properties, including the disk-jet connection could be understood well only if such a component is present along with a Keplerian component of variable size and accretion rate.
