Disk/corona model: The transition to ADAF
  We propose a model of the accretion flow onto a black hole consisting of the accretion disk with an accreting two-temperature corona. The model is based on assumptions about the radiative and conductive energy exchange between the two phases and the pressure equilibrium. The complete model is determined by the mass, the accretion rate, and the viscosity parameter. We present the radial dependencies of parameters of such a two-phase flow, with advection in the corona and the disk/corona mass exchange due to evaporation/condensation included, and we determine the transition radius from a two-phase disk/corona accretion to a single-phase optically thin flow (ADAF) in the innermost part of the disk as a function of accretion rate. We identify the NLS1 galaxies with objects accreting at a rate close to the Eddington accretion rate. The strong variability of these objects may be related to the limit cycle behaviour expected in this luminosity range, as the disk, unstable due to the dominance by the radiation pressure, oscillates between the two stable branches: the advection-dominated optically thick branch and the evaporation branch.
