Outburst for a short orbital period black hole. Top panel: Ṁ(R_in) (black solid line), Ṁ_w(R_in) (dashed line), Ṁ(R_in) no wind mass loss for comparison (grey solid line, nearly superposed to the black solid line). Second panel: R_in and R_out (solid lines), radius of the heating/cooling front (dotted line), 0.2R_ic (dashed line). Third panel: L/L_Edd (solid line) and L_crit/L_Edd (dashed line). Bottom panel: 𝒞 (solid line) and 𝒞 estimated from Eq. (10) (dashed line).
