Thermal Spectra of Warped and Broken Accretion Disks

Black holes may accrete gas with angular momentum vectors misaligned with the black hole spin axis. The resulting accretion disks are subject to Lense–Thirring precession, and hence torque. Analytical calculations and simulations show that Lense–Thirring precession will warp, and, for large misalign...
