Radiation spectra from MHD simulations of low angular momentum flows
Abstract
We perform Monte Carlo calculation to determine the radiation spectra from magnetized, low angular momentum accretion flow. Magneto-hydrodynamical simulation (with angular momentum parameter lambda of about 2 Rg c) was performed by Proga & Begelman 2003. Because simulation neglect radiative cooling, we compute electron temperature separately, including ohmic heating, parametrized with small δ coefficient, ion-electron coupling, radiative cooling and advection. Radiation spectra are obtained taking into account, thermal synchrotron and bremsstrahlung radiation, self absorption and Comptonization processes.
