Rossby Wave Instability of Keplerian Accretion Disks
We find a linear instability of non-axisymmetric Rossby waves in a thin nonmagnetized Keplerian disk when there is a local maximum in the radial profile of a key function L(r) ≡ F(r)S2/Γ(r), where F−1 = ẑ · (∇× v)/Σ is the potential vorticity, S = P/ΣΓ is the entropy, Σ is the surface mass density, P is the vertically integrated pressure, and Γ is the adiabatic index. We consider in detail the ...
متن کاملAn accretion-ejection instability in magnetized disks
We present an instability occurring in the inner part of disks threaded by a moderately strong vertical (poloidal) magnetic field. Its mechanism is such that a spiral density wave in the disk, driven by magnetic stresses (rather than self-gravity as in galactic spirals), becomes unstable by exchanging angular momentum with a Rossby vortex it generates at its corotation radius. This angular mome...
متن کاملAxisymmetric Magnetorotational Instability in Viscous Accretion Disks
Axisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI) in viscous accretion disks is investigated by linear analysis and two-dimensional nonlinear simulations. The linear growth of the viscous MRI is characterized by the Reynolds number defined as RMRI ≡ v A/νΩ, where vA is the Alfvén velocity, ν is the kinematic viscosity, and Ω is the angular velocity of the disk. Although the linear growth rate is...
متن کاملOscillations of the Inner Regions of Viscous Accretion Disks
Although quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have been discovered in different X-ray sources, their origin is still a matter of debate. Analytical studies of hydrodynamic accretion disks have shown three types of trapped global modes with properties that appear to agree with the observations. However, these studies take only linear effects into account and do not address the issues of mode excit...
متن کاملInertial Instability of Accretion Disks with Relativistic Electrons
We show that accretion disks with relativisticly hot electrons which are coupled to cold ions is subject to inertial-type instability in which kinematic drag between electrons and ions produces radial acceleration of electrons. Subject headings: Accretion Disks Instabilities 1. Model Problem We consider an accretion disk in which electrons are heated to relativistic energies, while ions remain ...
