Ab initio Simulations of Accretion Disc Boundary Layers

I discuss the results of simplified three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the boundary layer between a disc and a non-rotating, unmagnetized star. Strong magnetic fields, possibly approaching equipartition with the thermal energy, occur in the boundary layer due to the shearing of disc-generated fields. The mean boundary layer magnetic field, which is highly variable on an orbita...

Disc-overflow Accretion in Intermediate Polars

We have recently realised that intermediate polars accrete in a range of modes. While accretion is predominantly through an accretion disc, in some systems the accretion stream overrows the disc and interacts with the magnetic eld directly. In RX 1712{24, discless accretion dominates. I review the current status of these observations, concentrating on the information from the X-ray lightcurves.

Magnetic activity in accretion disc boundary layers

We use three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the structure of the boundary layer between an accretion disc and a non-rotating, unmagnetized star. Under the assumption that cooling is efficient, we obtain a narrow but highly variable transition region in which the radial velocity is only a small fraction of the sound speed. A large fraction of the energy dissipation occurs i...

Secular instability in quasi-viscous disc accretion

A first-order correction in the α-viscosity parameter of Shakura & Sunyaev has been introduced in the standard inviscid and thin accretion disc. A linearised time-dependent perturbative study of the stationary solutions of this “quasi-viscous” disc leads to the development of a secular instability on large spatial scales. This qualitative feature is equally manifest for two different types of p...

Evolution of transonicity in an accretion disc

For inviscid, rotational accretion flows driven by a general pseudoNewtonian potential on to a Schwarzschild black hole, the only possible fixed points are saddle points and centre-type points. For the specific choice of the Newtonian potential, the flow has only two critical points, of which the outer one is a saddle point while the inner one is a centre-type point. A restrictive upper bound i...
