Effects of Dissipation Physics on Spectra and Structure of Accretion Disks with Non-zero Inner Torque
POSTER
Abstract
We present numerical calculations of spectra and vertical structure of accretion disks models appropriate for near-Eddington luminosity black hole x-ray binaries. We found that both stresses at the inner disk and significant dissipation near the photosphere are necessary to produce the observed steep power law state spectra.
