    Global solution of viscous accretion disk around rotating compact objects : A pseudo-general-relativistic study
    (2011-07-05) Mukhopadhyay, B.; Ghosh, Shubhrangshu
    We study the solution of viscous accretion disks around rotating com-pact/central object having hard surface i.e. neutron star, strange star and any other highly gravitating objects. We choose pseudo-Newtonian approach to describe the relativistic accretion disk. For this purpose, a new pseudo- Newtonian potential is established which is applicable to describe the rela- tivistic properties of star and its disk. As we know, the Hartle-Thorne met- ric can describe geometry of star as well as the space-time out-side of it, we use this metric to establish our potential. Our potential reproduces the marginally stable orbit exactly as that of general relativity. It also reproduces the marginally bound orbit and specific mechanical energy at the marginally stable orbit with at most 4% and 10% error respectively. Using this poten- tial we study the global parameter space of the accretion disk. Thus, we find out the physical parameter regime, for which the stable accretion disk can be formed around gravitating object with hard surface. We also study, how the fluid properties get changed with different rotations of the central star. We show that with the change of rotation to the central object, the valid disk parameter region dramatically changes.We also show the effect of viscosity to the fluid properties of the disk. Subsequently, we give a theoretical prediction
