Abstract (from CDS):

We study the relativistic, time-independent, low angular momentum, inviscid, advective accretion flow around Kerr black hole. Considering the relativistic equation of state (REoS), we examine the transonic properties of the flow and find that there exists an upper bound of the location of the physically accepted critical point (r^ max^_ out_). However, no such limit exists when an ideal gas equation of state (IEoS) is assumed to describe the flow. Further, we calculate the global accretion solutions that contain shock waves and separate the domain of parameter space in angular momentum (λ) and energy ( E) plane. We find ample disagreement between the shock parameter spaces obtained for REoS and IEoS, respectively. In general, post-shock flow (equivalently post-shock corona) is characterized by shock location (rs) and compression ratio (R, measure of density compression across the shock front) which are uniquely determined for flow with given input parameters, namely ( E, λ). Using rs and R, we empirically compute the oscillation frequency (νQPO) of the shock front which is in general quasi-periodic (QP) in nature and retrace the domain of shock parameter space in the rs-R plane in terms of νQPO for REoS around the weakly as well as rapidly rotating black holes. Finally, we indicate the relevance of this work to explain the plausible origin of high frequency QPO and its connection with the spin (ak) of the Galactic black hole sources.
