Abstract
A self-similar solution for the vertical structure of a thin accretion disk - apart from thermal equilibrium - is described. The main assump tions made are that the energy loss is due to radiation and that throu ghout the disk the Rosseland mean of the opacity can be fitted by the same power-law dependency on density and temperature.
