Scientific paper

The soft X-ray emission expected from geometrically thin accretion models of active galactic nuclei is calculated using a self-consistent atmosphere code. It is shown that: (1) radiation pressure is a severe constraint, typically limiting the accretion luminosity to a few percent of the Eddington limit, and (2) blackbody modeling of the soft X-rays can lead to very large errors in estimates of physical conditions.
