Achievements

1. We have established the “disk evaporation” and “corona condensation” model for black holes (BHs) from stellar-mass BH in X-ray binaries and super-massive BH in the center of galaxies

2. We have developed the “hot accretion flow” theory around the stellar-mass compact objects [neutron star (NS) and BH] for distinguishing the effect of the hard surface in NSs and the event horizon in BHs.
