a hot, low-density accretion flow in which most viscously released energy is carried into the black hole rather than radiated, explaining very underluminous sources.

In astrophysics, advection-dominated accretion flow refers to a hot, low-density accretion flow in which most viscously released energy is carried into the black hole rather than radiated, explaining very underluminous sources. This meaning comes from Narayan (1994) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
