Description

As the agency reported it.

The standard model of accretion disks developed in the 1970S cannot account for the observed spectral features of disk-accreting systems such as excess thermal emission (e.g. the 'big blue bump' in active galactic nuclei) non-thermal x-RAY emission and broad emission and absorption lines. Moreover the model does not account for either magnetically-driven or radiation-driven outflows known to always accompany optically thick geometrically thin accretion disks. In…
