Scientific paper

Astronomers have discovered many potential black holes in X-ray binaries and galactic nuclei. An object is considered a strong black hole candidate if it is ultra-compact and too massive to be a neutron star. Recently, there has been some evidence that astrophysical black hole candidates actually possess event horizons. The argument is based on a class of accretion models, called advection-dominated accretion flows, which are particularly well suited to probe the nature of the surface, or lack of it, in an accreting mass. The talk will review the evidence and discuss directions for future work.
