Scientific paper

It is shown that viscous dissipation in the outer atmospheres of
unilluminated accretion disks produces hot coronas and thermally driven
winds. Without irradiation by the central source, the optical depth of
the corona is insufficient to explain observations of low-mass X-ray
binaries having low ratios of X-ray to optical flux.
