SHAO Astrophysics Colloquium

Title: Accretion disks and outflows: theories and applications to ULXs and GRBs

Speaker: Wei-Min Gu (Xiamen University)

Time: 3：00 pm, Dec. 20 (Thursday)

Location: Lecture Hall, 3rd floor

Abstract:
In my talk, I will first review the progress on black-hole accretion disk models in the past 45 years. By taking the thermal equilibrium into consideration, I will discuss the physical reason for outflows in accretion systems. Consequently, I will introduce our recent works on the applications of accretion models to ultra-luminous X-ray sources and gamma-ray bursts. In addition, I will mention our recent progress on searching for stellar-mass black hole candidates by the LAMOST spectra.
