Circinus galaxy: mass accretion rate of the thick gas disk (in M yr−1) as a functionof the Toomre Q parameter. Each point corresponds to a given critical radius where the wind sets in and the accretion disk becomes thin. Each line corresponds to a velocity dispersion of vturb = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 km s−1 (from left to right). The critical radii range from 0.2 pc (blue) to 3 pc (red) in steps of 0.1 pc. Triangles: pradpB < 0.5; boxes: pradpB ≥ 0.5. The intersection of the solid lines corresponds to the assumed critical radius rwind = 0.53 pc and vturb = 30 km s−1.
