Duration: 407 s
Description: This episode discusses the paper "Radiation GRMHD Models of Accretion onto Stellar-Mass Black Holes: III. Near-Eddington Accretion." The research compares four accretion models, finding that vertical magnetic flux dictates whether a disk becomes a thin thermal structure or a puffy, magnetically elevated one. This provides tools to interpret observations of black hole systems.
