Comparison between the energy deposition rate Ė from the ‘sEdd’ (solid orange) and ‘sEddThm’ (densely dash-dotted violet) simulations, over a succession of typical super-Eddington episodes. The events deposit the same amount of energy, though in different ways, but the ‘sEddThm’ case seems to be more frequently in a super-Eddington regime. In addition, the drops post super-Eddington events do not fall to luminosities below 10⁴⁰ erg s⁻¹.
