Journal ArticleDOI

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole

Kazunori Akiyama, +406 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Event Horizon Telescope was used to reconstruct event-horizon-scale images of the supermassive black hole candidate in the center of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectra and light curves of gamma-ray burst afterglows

TL;DR: In this paper, the broadband spectrum and corresponding light curve of synchrotron radiation from a power-law distribution of electrons in an expanding relativistic shock were calculated for the gamma-ray burst afterglow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advection-dominated Accretion: A Self-similar Solution

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

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

Hot Accretion Flows Around Black Holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified the hot accretion flows into two broad classes: cold and hot, and showed that hot flows are associated with jets and strong winds, and that they are present in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei and in black hole X-ray binaries in the hard and quiescent states.
