摘要: Magnetic connections to the plunging region can exert stresses on inner edge of an accretion disk around a black hole. We recompute relativistic corrections thin-disk dynamics equations when these take form time-steady torque disk. The additional dissipation associated with is concentrated relatively close outside marginally stable orbit, scaling as r-7/2 at large radius. As result stresses, spin-up central hole retarded; maximum spin-equilibrium efficiency 36% and occurs a/M = 0.94; spectrum extended toward higher frequencies; line profiles (such Fe Kα) are broadened if emissivity scales local flux; limb brightening, especially frequencies, enhanced; returning radiation fraction substantially increased, up 58%. This last effect creates possible explanations for both synchronized continuum fluctuations in active galactic nuclei polarization rises shortward Lyman quasars. show that no matter what occur, < 0.36, second law sets absolute upper bound efficiency.
