Accretion-disk coronae in QSOs

Abstract

Radiation pressure on gas in the hypothesized accretion disks of QSOs will result in a corona. Electrons of 340 kev, equivalent to Te∼3×108 K, may result in a significant. Compton optical depth for the implied mass loss rate. Comptonization of ultraviolet to 30 kev may result in contradiction to observations.
