Abstract

Low angular momentum accretion flows very often have centrifugal pressure supported standing shock waves which can accelerate flow particles. The accelerated particles in turn emit synchrotron radiation in presence of magnetic fields. Efficient cooling of the electrons reduces its temperature in comparison to the protons. In this paper, we assume two temperature flows to explore this property of shocks and present an example of the emitted radiation spectrum.
