On Disk Formation around Isolated Black Holes via Stream Accretion by Priyesh Kumar Tripathi, Indranil Chattopadhyay, Raj Kishor Joshi

“…We show that the classical BHL cannot form an accretion disk, while lateral BHL can form transient accretion disks. To describe the thermodynamics of the flow, we have used a variable adiabatic index equation of state which depends on the temperature of the flow as well as the composition of the gas. …”
