Bf. Liu et al., THE EFFECT OF AN OPTICALLY THIN REGION ON STABILITY OF AN ACCRETION DISK AROUND A SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLE, Astrophysics and space science, 225(2), 1995, pp. 299-314
We analyse conditions of the innermost portion of an accretion disk an
d establish a set of equations for this region. A stable innermost reg
ion may exist, which can probably explain the observed UV and X-ray sp
ectra, avoiding the unstable emission. We then discuss the detailed ra
dial structure of a disk around a black hole for typical AGN parameter
s and obtain different kinds of M-Sigma relationships for different re
gions of a disk. On the basis of this, we discuss the stability. A new
type of cycle is present, which we call a double 5 shaped cycle. In t
his cycle, the extent of accretion rate variability is much larger tha
n that in dwarf nova cycles. This probably solves the problem of viole
nt variability of AGN. In the meantime, the very high accretion rate a
t the hottest state in limit cycles in the unstable region may provide
continuous injection of matter to the jet and power the relativistic
motion of the jet.
