Geometrical shape and spectral energy distribution of the two solutions. Left: JED-SAD solution with r_J = 65 and ṁ = 0.5. Right: JED-SAD solution with r_J = 30 and ṁ = 1.3. For both solutions, the radial distribution of the JED is divided into ten portions. Top and middle panels: radial evolution of the vertical extension of the disk (x-axis at the top) compared to the black hole horizon represented by the black ellipsoid on the right side of each panel. The vertical Thomson optical depth (top) and the electron temperature (middle) are color-coded (top and bottom color bar, respectively). Bottom panels: total emitted spectrum in black with the contribution from the entire SAD (dotted line) and each JED portion (dashed lines), color-coded according to temperature (same as middle panels). The RXTE X-ray range is inside the gray background.
