Implications from the Shape of the Viscosity-Surface Density Relation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present results of new vertical structure computations for cool, convective accretion disks. The influence of the uncertainty in the low temperature opacities on the cool branch of the viscosity-surface density relation is investigated. We discuss how the shape of this relation allows a prediction of temperatures in the accretion disk during the onset of an outburst and we compare this with observations for VW Hydri by Hassall (1984).
