Accretion disc viscosity : how big is alpha ?
We consider observational and theoretical estimates of the accretion disc viscosity parameter α. We find that in thin, fully-ionized discs, the best observational evidence suggests a typical range α ∼ 0.1 − 0.4, whereas the relevant numerical simulations tend to derive estimates for α which are an order of magnitude smaller. We discuss possible reasons for this apparent discrepancy.
متن کاملAn alternative approach to viscosity in an accretion disc
Purely hydrodynamic numerical experiments into the evolution of astrophysical discs typically include some sort of viscosity in order to cause accretion. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative method of implementing viscous forces, with extremely good angular momentum conservation properties. The method is based on altering the cell fluxes, rather than incorporating a viscous force. We te...
متن کاملConstraints on AGN accretion disc viscosity derived from continuum variability
We estimate a value of the viscosity parameter in AGN accretion discs for the PG quasar sample. We assume that optical variability on time-scales of months to years is caused by local instabilities in the inner accretion disc. Comparing the observed variability time-scales to the thermal time-scales of α-disc models we obtain constraints on the viscosity parameter for the sample. We find that, ...
متن کاملFlickering in Black Hole Accretion discs
We present an extension of the King et al. [1] model for the flickering of black hole accretion discs by taking proper account for the thermal properties of the disc. First we develop a one-dimensional, vertically averaged, one-zone model for an optically thick accretion disc and study the temporal evolution. This limits the current model to the so-called high/soft state, where the X-Ray spectr...
متن کاملViscosity mechanisms in accretion disks
The self-sustained turbulence that develops in magnetized accretion disks is suppressed in the weakly ionized, quiescent disks of close binary stars. Because accretion still proceeds during quiescence, another viscosity mechanism operates in these systems. An anticorrelation of the recurrence times of SU UMa dwarf novae with their mass ratio supports spiral waves or shockwaves tidally induced b...
