Properties of magnetically supported dissipative accretion flow around black holes with cooling effects

We investigate the global structure of the advection dominated accretion flow around a Schwarzschild black hole where the accretion disc is threaded by toroidal magnetic fields. We consider synchrotron radiative process as an effective cooling mechanism active in the flow. With this, we obtain the global transonic accretion solutions by exploring the variety of boundary conditions and dissipation parameters, namely accretion rate (${\dot m}$) and viscosity ($α_B$). The fact that depending on the initial parameters, steady state accretion flows can possess centrifugally supported shock waves. These global shock solutions exist even when the level of dissipation is relatively high. We study the properties of shock waves and observe that the dynamics of the post-shock corona (hereafter, PSC) is regulated by the flow parameters. Interestingly, we find that shock solution disappears completely when the dissipation parameters exceed their critical values. We calculate the critical values of viscosity parameter ($α^{\rm cri}_B$) adopting the canonical values of adiabatic indices as $γ=4/3$ (ultra-relativistic) and $1.5$ (semi-non-relativistic) and find that in the gas pressure dominated domain, $α^{\rm cri}_B \sim 0.4$ for $γ=4/3$ and $α^{\rm cri}_B \sim 0.27$ for $γ=1.5$, respectively. We further show that global shock solutions are relatively more luminous compared to the shock free solutions. Also, we have calculated the synchrotron spectra for shocked solutions. When the shock is considered to be dissipative in nature, it would have an important implication as the available energy at PSC can be utilized to power the outflowing matter escaped from PSC. Towards this, we calculate the maximum shock luminosity and discuss the observational implication of our present formalism.

Dynamical structure of magnetized dissipative accretion flow around black holes

We study the global structure of optically thin, advection dominated, magnetized accretion flow around black holes. We consider the magnetic field to be turbulent in nature and dominated by the toroidal component. With this, we obtain the complete set of accretion solutions for dissipative flows where bremsstrahlung process is regarded as the dominant cooling mechanism. We show that rotating magnetized accretion flow experiences virtual barrier around black hole due to centrifugal repulsion that can trigger the discontinuous transition of the flow variables in the form of shock waves. We examine the properties of the shock waves and find that the dynamics of the post-shock corona (PSC) is controlled by the flow parameters, namely viscosity, cooling rate and strength of the magnetic field, respectively. We separate the effective region of the parameter space for standing shock and observe that shock can form for wide range of flow parameters. We obtain the critical viscosity parameter that allows global accretion solutions including shocks. We estimate the energy dissipation at the PSC from where a part of the accreting matter can deflect as outflows and jets. We compare the maximum energy that could be extracted from the PSC and the observed radio luminosity values for several super-massive black hole sources and the observational implications of our present analysis are discussed.

On the possibilities of mass loss from an advective accretion disc around stationary black holes

We study the coupled disc-jet system around the black hole where the outflow solutions are obtained in terms of the inflow parameters. We observe that an advective accretion disc can eject outflows/jets for wide range of viscosity parameter. However, such possibility is reduced if the cooling is active as the energy dissipative process inside the disc. For mass outflow, we obtain the parameter space spanned by the inflow angular momentum and the viscosity in terms of cooling and quantify the limits of viscosity parameter.
