Variability and Instabilities of Accretion Disks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
In the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1566 and quasars 3C 345, 3C 446 long term (∼ 103 days) variations have been observed. We propose to explain them as a limit cycle behaviour, similar to that well studied in the case of dwarf novae outbursts. The key element of our analysis is the relationship between the accretion rate · and the surface density Σ.
