Scientific paper

The innermost region of slim accretion disks with standard alpha viscosity is unstable against axisymmetric radial inertial acoustic perturbations under certain conditions. Numerical simulations are performed in order to demonstrate behaviors of such unstable disks. It is shown that oscillations with the period of about 10-3(MBH/solar mass)s can be excited near the innner edge of the disks, where MBH is the mass of the central object. This kind of unstable disks is a possible origin of the periodic X-ray time variabilities with period of about 104s observed in a Seyfert galaxy NGC 6814.
