Scientific paper

Ultraviolet and soft X-ray continuum spectra are calculated for thin, radiation-pressure-dominated disks using model atmospheres characterized by appropriately low effective gravities. Relativistic and non-LTE effects are incorporated in the calculations. In agreement with observations, Lyman edges are found to be insignificant over a wide range of masses, accretion rates, and viewing angles. The range of soft X-ray luminosities is consistent with observations if the disks are assumed to orbit maximally rotating black holes.
