Scientific paper

We investigate black hole systems where the accretion rate approaches the Eddington limit. This means that the thin disk approximation no longer holds, and the flow puffs up into a three dimensional configuration. The result are thick tori with a wide range of optical depths. We use a new covariant moment method to calculate images of these tori around Kerr black holes where the effects of electron scattering are dominant. We also investigate the relativistic smearing of line emission from these objects.
