Abstract

We discuss properties of thermal and hybrid (thermal/non-thermal)\nelectron-positron plasmas in the pair and energy equilibria. Various accretion\ndisc-corona models, recently proposed to explain properties of galactic as well\nas extragalactic accreting black holes, are confronted with the observed\nbroad-band X-ray and gamma-ray spectra.\n
