Accretion disks modelling

Mikołaj Grzędzielski

In astrophysics there are many cases of X-ray radiative outburst, caused by instabilities of hot gases. One of significant description is thin accretion disk surrounding a black hole. Our attempt is a hydrodynamical description of an accretion disk. We show the physics of the model, and try to compare the behaviour of the disk apparent luminosity with the observed light curve of microquasar IGR J17091.
