Synopsis

Accretion disk around a black hole. XSpec model.

Blackbody spectrum of an accretion disk. This is an extension of the xsdiskbb model, including corrections for temperature distribution near the black hole. The temperature distribution was calculated in Paczynski-Wiita pseudo-Newtonian potential. An accretion rate can be computed from the maximum temperature found. For details see Gierlinski et al., 1999, MNRAS, 309, 496. Please note that the inner disk radius (Rin) can be a free parameter only close to Rin = 6; otherwise Rin is strongly correlated with the norm parameter.

This is an additive model component.

xsdiskpn Parameters

Number	Name	Description
1	t_max	maximum temperature in the disk (keV)
2	r_in	inner disk radius in R_g = GM/c^2 units, 6 <= Rin <= 1000
3	norm	(M^2 cos(i)) / (D^2 beta^4), where M is the central mass in solar masses, D is the distance to the source in kpc, i is the inclination of the disk, and beta is the color/effective temperature ratio.
