Fluid accretion onto a spherical black hole: Relativistic description versus Bondi model
Jul, 1999Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
We describe general-relativistically a spherically symmetric stationary fluid accretion onto a black hole. Relativistic effects enhance mass accretion, in comparison to the Bondi model predictions, in the case when backreaction is neglected. That enhancement depends on the adiabatic index and the asymptotic gas temperature and it can magnify accretion by one order in the ultrarelativistic regime.Note:
