Vertical Structure of Accretion Discs with Hot Coronae in AGN
We study vertical structure of radiation pressure dominated disc with a hot corona. We include all the relevant processes like bound–free opacity and convection. We show that the presence of the corona modifies considerably the density and the opacity of the disc surface layers which are important from the point of view of spectrum formation. The surface of the disc with a corona is much denser...
متن کاملA non-linear theory of vertical resonances in accretion discs
An important and widely neglected aspect of the interaction between an accretion disc and a massive companion with a coplanar orbit is the vertical component of the tidal force. As shown by Lubow, the response of the disc to vertical forcing is resonant at certain radii, at which a localized torque is exerted, and from which a compressive wave (p mode) may be emitted. Although these vertical re...
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 ...
متن کاملMagnetorotational instability in stratified, weakly ionised accretion discs
We present a linear analysis of the vertical structure and growth of the magnetorotational instability in stratified, weakly ionised accretion discs, such as protostellar and quiescent dwarf novae systems. 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...
