Cross section of the warped accretion disk geometry viewed edge-on, ﹩\theta =\frac{\pi }{2}﹩ and ϕ = 0. The black hole is shown at the center of the disk geometry, and hc denotes the height of the lamppost corona above the disk. rb is the break radius separating the inner accretion disk from the outer disk, and α is the angle of misalignment between the inner and outer disk. Note that this plot has no associated units, and is intended only to illustrate the basic configuration of the system.
