| Abstract: | The nature of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources – X-ray sources which exceed the Eddington luminosity for a ∼10 M
⊙ black hole – remains a mystery. One possible explanation is an inhomogeneous accretion disk around a solar mass black hole
where photon transport through radiation-pressure dominated “photon bubbles” can lead to super-Eddington accretion. While
previous studies of this model have focused primarily on its radiation-hydrodynamics aspects, here we explore some observational
implications of such a model with a Monte Carlo–Fokker Planck radiation transport code. |
