Journal ArticleDOI
Advection-dominated Accretion: A Self-similar Solution
Ramesh Narayan,Insu Yi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider viscous rotating accretion flows in which most of the viscously dissipated energy is stored as entropy rather than being radiated, and obtain a family of self-similar solutions where the temperature of the accreting gas is nearly virial and the flow is quasi-spherical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advection dominated accretion: Underfed black holes and neutron stars
Ramesh Narayan,Insu Yi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe new optically thin solutions for rotating accretion flows around black holes and neutron stars, which are advection dominated, so that most of the viscously dissipated energy is advected radially with the flow.

Journal ArticleDOI
Advection-dominated accretion: Self-similarity and bipolar outflows
Ramesh Narayan,Insu Yi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider axisymmetric viscous accretion flows where a fraction f of the viscously dissipated energy is advected with the accreting gas as stored entropy and a fraction 1-f is radiated.
