• Chandra Observations of “The Antennae” Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039). III. X-Ray Properties and Multiwavelength Associations of the X-Ray Source Population (2002, background): “As for the other ULXs, the high temperatures that we infer for the inner part of the accretion disk are inconsistent with black holes in this mass range, unless rotating black holes (e.g., Makishima et al. 2000) or slim/thick accretion disks (e.g., Watarai et al. 2000) are invoked.”
• The Three Spectral Regimes Found in the Stellar Black Hole XTE J1550–564 in Its High/Soft State (2003, unknown): “Actually, a series of new solutions to the accretion flow have been discovered, including a slim disk solution, which takes advective cooling into account (Abramowicz et al. 1988; Watarai et al. 2000).”
• The Nature of Ultraluminous Compact X-Ray Sources in Nearby Spiral Galaxies (2000, background): “Recently, Watarai et al. (2000) have shown via calculation that a signiÐcant amount of X-rays are radiated even from the region inside in a slim accretion disk accreting close to3Rsthe Eddington limit.”
• Slim-Disk Model for Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources (2000, methodology): “Basic equations used here are the same as those in the previous paper (Watarai et al. 2000).”
• GLOBAL STRUCTURE OF THREE DISTINCT ACCRETION FLOWS AND OUTFLOWS AROUND BLACK HOLES FROM TWO-DIMENSIONAL RADIATION-MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS (2011, methodology): “Overview Model A, with a high density normalization (ρ0 = 1.0 g cm−3), corresponds to the two-dimensional RMHD version of the slim disk model (Abramowicz et al. 1988; Watarai et al. 2000) but with significant outflow (Takeuchi et al. 2009).”
• Supercritical Accretion Flows around Black Holes: Two-dimensional, Radiation Pressure-dominated Disks with Photon Trapping (2005, methodology): “We also indicated in the same figure the luminosity calculated based on the slim-disk model (Watarai et al. 2000) and the one based on Model A of Paper I with dashed and dotted curves, respectively.”
• The Ultraluminous State (2009, background): “…the slim discs may extend down to smaller radii than the classic la t stable orbit due to the non-negligible pressure support, so their sp ctra can include higher temperature components than expected from a standard disc (Abramowicz et al. 1988, Watarai et al. 2000, but see also Beloborodov 1998).”
• Modelling the behaviour of accretion flows in X-ray binaries (2007, methodology): “For a disc temperature distribution parameterized as a power law, with T (r) ∝ r−p, these models predict that p goes from 0.75 in the standard regime to 0.5 when advection dominates the inner regions (e.g. Watarai et al. 2000).”
• Supercritically accreting stellar mass black holes as ultraluminous X-ray sources (2006, background): “This implies the effective temperature distribution R−1/2 and a flat (inEFE) emitted spectrumFE ∝ E−1 (see e.g. Watarai et al. 2000).”
