Turbulence and its parameterization in accretion discs
Accretion disc turbulence is investigated in the framework of the shearing box approximation. The turbulence is either driven by the magneto-rotational instability or, in the non-magnetic case, by an explicit and artificial forcing term in the momentum equation. Unlike the magnetic case, where most of the dissipation occurs in the disc corona, in the forced hydrodynamic case most of the dissipa...
متن کاملTesting thermal reprocessing in AGN accretion discs
The thermal reprocessing hypothesis in AGN, where EUV/X-ray photons are reprocessed by the accretion disc into optical/UV photons, predicts wavelength-dependent time delays between the optical continuum at different wavelengths. Recent photometric monitoring by Sergeev et al. has shown that the time-delay is observed in 14 AGN, and generally seen to increase with increasing wavelength, as predi...
متن کاملDynamo-generated Turbulence and Outtows from Accretion Discs
Local hydromagnetic simulations of accretion disc turbulence provide now the most convincing evidence that the origin of turbulence in discs could be the Balbus{Hawley magneto-rotational instability. The main results of such calculations are highlighted with particular emphasis on the generation of large scale magnetic elds. Comparison with mean-eld dynamo theory is made. This theory is then us...

متن کاملAccretion does not drive the turbulence in galactic discs
Rapid accretion of cold intergalactic gas plays a crucial role in getting gas into galaxies. It has been suggested that this gas accretion proceeds along narrow streams that might also directly drive the turbulence in galactic gas, dynamical disturbances and bulge formation. In cosmological simulations, however, it is impossible to isolate and hence disentangle the effect of cold stream accreti...
