Fig. 1
Examples of local (measured in the disk co-rotating frame) flux profiles emitted from the surface of a slim accretion disk (solid lines) and Novikov-Thorne disk (dashed lines) models. Flux profiles are shown for three different mass accretion rates Ṁ = 0.03, 0.3, 0.6 ṀEdd. Note the effects of advection, clearly visible in the slim-disk curves, which start to be important at ṁ ≳ 0.1.
