Podrobný výpis o publikaci

Astrophysical fluids subjected to the strong gravity of black holes can form rotating toroidal-like structures known as thick accretion discs. In order to facilitate the study of such structures, we introduce approximate empirical formulae for a relatively simple analytical description of their poloidal cross-sections that are usually described only numerically. Our comparisons of the approximate and exact descriptions of the cross-sections of the structures rotating around Schwarzschild and Kerr central black holes, together with the determination of the associated total masses of these structure, indicate a high degree of accuracy for these introduced formulae.
