Scientific paper

Radiative transfer in spherical, supercritical accretion onto a massive black hole is considered, with particular emphasis being placed on the case of non-adiabatic flow in which electron scattering in the converging flow is the dominant source of opacity and photon heating. Photon production and thermal effects for the cases of bremsstrahlung emissivity and synchrotron emissivity are considered. The relevance of this problem to the X-ray emission from quasars and active galactic nuclei is also discussed.
