Understanding Black Hole Accretion by Nikos Lesgidis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Black holes are often detected by the radiation produced when surrounding gas is pulled in through the process of accretion. The efficiency of radiation influences the geometry and dynamics of the accretion flow, which can take the form of either thin disks or thick disks. 2) When gas gets close to the black hole, the radiation it produces becomes sensitive to the spin of the black hole and the presence of an event horizon. Analysis of luminosities and spectra of accreting black holes has provided evid
