Properties of the warm corona on the accretion rate-magnetic viscosity parameter plane. All models have been calculated for MBH = 108 M⊙ and R = 6 RSchw. Upper panels show: a) average temperature, Tavg, of the corona in keV (colors) and optical depth of the base of the warm corona τcor (contours); b) Ξ (colors) and magnetic pressure parameter β (contours) both at τcor; and c) number density nH in cm−3 (colors) at τcor and total column density Σ in g cm−2 (contours). Dotted contour here shows where dΣ/dṁ = 0. Bottom panels display: d) yavg parameter of the warm corona at the thermalization zone, namely, τ* = 1 (colors), and at the base of the corona, τcor (contours); e) fraction of radiative energy produced by the corona f (colors) and the maximum value of magnetic field gradient q (contours); and f) the minimum value of ℒrad throughout the disk height (colors) and Thomson optical depth, τmin, for which it occurs (contours), green areas are stable disks, whereas magenta areas indicate thermal instability in the corona, the gray dotted line corresponds to ℒrad = 0. In all panels, the dark contour indicates the parameter sub-space affected by the density inversion.
