Non-axisymmetric instability in thin discs
In a recent important paper, Papaloizou & Pringle (1984) have investigated the dynamical stability of a thick, differentially rotating disc of uniform entropy and uniform specific angular momentum. They find a strong global non-axisymmetric instability which grows on a dynamical time-scale. Here we show that a similar instability exists even in thin discs of arbitrary specific angular momentum....
متن کاملMass Flow and Accretion through gaps in Accretion Discs
We study the structure and dynamics of the gap created by a protoplanet in an accretion disc. The hydrodynamic equations for a flat, two-dimensional, non-selfgravitating protostellar accretion disc with an embedded, Jupiter sized protoplanet on a circular orbit are solved. To simulate possible accretion of mass onto the protoplanet we continually remove mass from the interior of the planet’s Ro...
متن کاملAccretion Discs with Strong Toroidal Magnetic Fields
Simulations and analytic arguments suggest that the turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability (MRI) in accretion discs can amplify the toroidal (azimuthal) component of the magnetic field to a point at which magnetic pressure exceeds the combined gas + radiation pressure in the disc. Arguing from the recent analysis by Pessah and Psaltis, and other MRI results in the literature, we con...
متن کاملThe runaway instability in general relativistic accretion discs
When an accretion disc falls prey to the runaway instability, a large portion of its mass is devoured by the black hole within a few dynamical times. Despite decades of effort, it is still unclear under what conditions such an instability can occur. The technically most advanced relativistic simulations to date were unable to find a clear sign for the onset of the instability. In this work, we ...
متن کاملMagnetorotational instability in weakly ionised, stratified accretion discs
We present a linear analysis of the vertical structure and growth of the magnetorotational instability in weakly ionised, stratified accretion discs. The method includes the effects of the magnetic coupling, the conductivity regime of the fluid and the strength of the magnetic field, which is initially vertical. The conductivity is treated as a tensor and assumed constant with height. The Hall ...
