Effects of wind on radiation spectra from magnetized accretion disks
  The effects of a wind on the emerging spectrum from an inefficiently-radiating accretion flow in a global magnetic field are examined, based on the analytic solution obtained recently by one of the present authors. The results exhibit the steepening of the negative slope appearing in the intermediate frequency range of bremsstrahlung spectrum and the decrease in the luminosity ratio of thermal synchrotron to bremsstrahlung, in accordance with the increasing wind strength. Both effects are due to a suppressed mass accretion rate in the inner disk, caused by a mass loss in terms of wind.   In order to demonstrate the reliability of this model, Sagittarius A^* (Sgr A^*) and the nucleus of M 31, both of which have been resolved in an X-ray band by Chandra, are taken up as the best candidates for the broadband spectral fittings. Although the observed X-ray data are reproduced for these objects by both of the inverse-Compton and the bremsstrahlung fittings, some evidence of preference for the latter are recognized. The wind effects are clearly seen in the latter fitting case, in which we can conclude that a widely extending accretion disk is present in each nucleus, with no or only weak wind in Sgr A^* and with a considerably strong wind in the nuclear region of M 31. Especially in Sgr A^*, the inferred mass accretion rates are much smaller than the Bondi rate whose estimate has become reliable due to Chandra. This fact strongly suggests that the accretion in this object does not proceed like Bondi's prediction, though its extent almost reaches the Bondi radius.
