Hot accretion flows around black holes
Black hole accretion flows can be divided into two broad classes: cold and hot. Whereas
cold accretion flows consist of cool optically thick gas and are found at relatively high mass …

Emission line formation in accretion discs
We examine the formation of emission lines from accretion discs and develop simple
expressions for computing the profiles of both optically thin and optically thick lines. The …
