Abstract
A general set of equations governing time-independent spherical accretion into black holes is formulated. The equations are fully general relativistic and are applicable to optically thick regions, optically thin regions, and the transition regions which join them. The radiation is treated using frequency-integrated moments. The full, infinite series of moment equations is given; the user of the formalism can truncate the series wherever he wishes.Keywords
