Radial structure of fiducial disk solutions for M = 106M, α = 0.1 and outer boundary accretion rates of ﹩\dot{M}=0.1{M}_{\odot }﹩ yr−1, with varying mass-loss slope γ. The midplane temperature T and effective temperature Teff are shown in solid and dashed lines, respectively, in the top left panel. The transition toward an inner viscous α-disk, if present, is indicated by vertical dotted lines.
