The accretion rate implied by our measurement of the RM for various accretion models using M_bh = 2.6 × 10⁶ M_⊙ (Ghez et al. 1998). Two choices for r_out are shown: one in which the outer scale is large (effectively infinite), and another in which it is only 3 times larger than the inner cutoff radius.
