disk

The spectrum from an accretion disk, where the opacities are dominated by free-free absorption, i.e., the so-called blackbody disk model. Not correct for a disk around a neutron star.

par1	 = 	accretion rate in Eddington Luminosities

par2 = central mass in solar mass units

par3 = inner disk radius in gravitational (= 3 Schwarzschild) radii

par4 = distance in kpc

K = cos(i)/dtex2html_wrap_inline12909 , where i is the inclination of the disk and d is

the distance in units of 10 kpc
