What methodology should be used to choose the correct model for origin of QPOs in X-ray astronomy?
In X-ray astronomy, quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) are routinely shown by black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong and easily measurable signals, ...

Has the Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows (ADAF) model been used to describe accretion flow around a rotating black hole?
I am studying Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows (ADAF) from the review paper Advection-Dominated Accretion around
Black Holes. In section 2.1 of the paper, the authors provide the basic equations of ...

Causes of emission of accretion disk
As far as I can see, there are two main sources for the emission of energy from an accretion disk:
release of gravitational potential energy of the infalling matter;
friction from differential ...
