An accretion disc surrounding a component of epsilon aurigae
The low-mass model of Epsilon Aurigae consisting of an F supergiant star and a Main-Sequence B star which is surrounded by a cool accretion disk has been investigated. The disc requires a high accretion rate if the disk is assumed to be completely heated up by friction alone. On the other hand, disk...

| Summary: | The low-mass model of Epsilon Aurigae consisting of an F supergiant star and a Main-Sequence B star which is surrounded by a cool accretion disk has been investigated. The disc requires a high accretion rate if the disk is assumed to be completely heated up by friction alone. On the other hand, disks with low accretion rates are possible when the disk are heated up from the radiation of both stars. A swollen crescent portion produced by the radiation of the F star may form a bulky body sufficient to obscure the radiation of the F star. (Author) |
