For $r_{\mathrm{in}}\ll r\ll r_{\mathrm{out}}$, part (i) gives $\bar{\nu }\Sigma \propto r^{-1/2}$. Since ${\Omega }^2\propto r^{-3}$, the dissipative flux obeysIn the spectrum, introduce the dimensionless variableThen $rdr$ is proportional to ${\omega }^{-16/7}{x}^{9/7}dx$, soAt intermediate frequencies the inner limit is much smaller than one and the outer limit much larger than one, allowing them to be replaced by zero and infinity. Thus
