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...
متن کاملInterface Modes and Their Instabilities in Accretion Disc Boundary Layers
We study global non-axisymmetric oscillation modes trapped near the inner boundary of an accretion disc. Observations indicate that some of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in the luminosities of accreting compact objects (neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs) are produced in the inner-most regions of accretion discs or boundary layers. Two simple models are considered in ...
متن کاملAccretion disk boundary layers in classical TTauri stars
The dynamical and thermal structure of an opaque boundary layer, connecting a classical T Tauri star (CTTS: M∗ = 1M , R∗ = 4.3R , Teff = 5000K) with its accretion disk (Ṁ = 10−7M /yr), has been computed, including particularly the effect of a turbulence-driven global heat transport. The inner boundary has been shifted deeper and deeper into the star’s envelope in order to determine how this aff...
متن کاملModelling magnetised accretion discs
Some recent results are reviewed that lead us now to believe that accretion discs are basically always magnetised. The main components are Balbus-Hawley and Parker instabilities on the one hand and a dynamo process on the other. A mechanical model for the Balbus-Hawley instability is presented and analysed quantitatively. Three-dimensional simulations are discussed, especially the resulting mag...
متن کاملSelf-gravitating accretion discs
— I review recent progresses in the dynamics and the evolution of self-gravitating accretion discs. Accretion discs are a fundamental component of several astrophysical systems on very diverse scales, and can be found around supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and also in our Galaxy around stellar mass compact objects and around young stars. Notwithstanding the specific di...
