Radio Loudness of Active Galactic Nuclei: Observational Facts and Theoretical Implications
- M. Sikora, Ł. Stawarz, J. Lasota

We investigate how the total radio luminosity of AGN-powered radio sources depends on their accretion luminosity and the central black hole mass. Our studies cover about 7 orders of magnitude in…

X-ray irradiation in low-mass binary systems

We calculate self-consistent models of X-ray-irradiated accretion discs in close binary systems. We show that a point X-ray source powered by accretion and located in the disc plane cannot modify the…
The disc instability model for X-ray transients: Evidence for truncation and irradiation
- G. Dubus, J. Hameury, J. Lasota
- Physics
- 13 February 2001
The two- disc instability model provides an adequate description of the outbursts of SXTs when both truncation and irradiation are included, and the values for the viscosities in outburst and in quiescence are comparable to those used in CVs.
The viscosity parameter α and the properties of accretion disc outbursts in close binaries
Context. The physical mechanisms driving angular momentum transport in accretion discs are still unknown. Although it is generally accepted that, in hot discs, the turbulence triggered by the…
Thermal equilibria of accretion disks

- Physics
- 9 September 1994
We show that most of hot, optically thin accretion disk models which ignore advective cooling are not self-consistent. We have found new types of optically thin disk solutions where cooling is…
Accretion disc outbursts: a new version of an old model
- J. Hameury, K. Menou, G. Dubus, J. Lasota, J. Huré
- Physics, Geology
- 20 March 1998
We have developed 1D time-dependent numerical models of accretion discs, using an adaptive grid technique and an implicit numerical scheme, in which the disc size is allowed to vary with time. The…

This is an electronic version of an article published in The Astrophysical Journal. Clavel, J. et al. Steps toward determination of the size and structure of the broad-line region in active galactic…
Black Hole Spin and Galactic Morphology
- M. Volonteri, M. Sikora, J. Lasota
- Physics
- 27 June 2007
We investigate the conjecture by Sikora, Stawarz, and Lasota that the observed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) radio loudness bimodality can be explained by the morphology-related bimodality of black…
