•Basic ideas follow from Shakura and Sunyaev (1973) standard alpha thin disks, plus relativity, vertical disk structure, non-LTE, Comptonization, etc.  The models of Hubeny et al. (2000) are the most advanced and available on-line:

•alpha-disk solutions illustrate some basic physics and aren’t too complicated.  Check out S&S73
•My post-doc Shang and I fit these models to real AGN SEDs.  See these at the Wyoming AGN group webpage at http://physics.uwyo.edu/agn
