Radiation Spectra from Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows in a Global Magnetic Field

Abstract
We calculate the radiation spectra from advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs), taking into account the effects of a global magnetic field. Calculation is based on the analytic model for magnetized ADAFs proposed by Kaburaki, where a large-scale magnetic field controls the accretion process. Adjusting a few parameters, we find that our model can well reproduce the observed spectrum of Sagittarius A*. The result is discussed in comparison with those of well-known ADAF models, where the turbulent viscosity controls the accretion process.
