46 erg and a mass accretion rate at infinity

with
r for a disk with
b = 0 in a radiation pressure-dominated part of the disk. Dashed (blue) curves describe the same but for a standard constant
disk with the same mass accretion rate
. Dotted extensions of these curves at small
r correspond to
b = 1 in the radiation pressure-dominated part of the disk. Open dots on each curve correspond to the transition between the
radiation and gas pressure-dominated regimes, while filled dots describe the transition between the electron scattering and
free–free opacity.
