This article reviews the physics of advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) and describes applications to several black hole X-ray binaries and galactic nuclei. The possibility of using ADAFs to explore the event horizons of black holes is highlighted.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Time lag analysis using ICCF on GX 339-4 data reveals state-dependent radio-X-ray delays interpreted as evidence for magnetic field transport linking the inner accretion flow and jet.

  3. A Changing-Look Seyfert Discovered by eROSITA Reveals a Two-Component Broad-Line Region

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    HE 1237-2252 exhibits a changing-look event driven by intrinsic accretion-rate variations, revealing a two-component broad-line region consisting of virialized gas at ~27 light-days and disk emission at larger radii.
