Scientific paper

This paper is devoted to the study of sonic points and shocks in stationary, axially symmetric, isothermal flows around a Kerr black hole. The authors first show the dependence of the location of the sonic point with the flow's angular momentum for different isothermal sound speeds. With their selected shock jump conditions, they then discuss the properties of the shock, including the location and the strength. The ambiguity regarding the shock locations is removed by stability analysis. The authors also find some differences between the shock in isothermal flows and that in adiabatic flows.
