Modelling 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...
متن کاملStationary population accretion discs
We present stationary models of protostellar population (Pop , for short) accretion discs, compare them to Pop discs, and investigate the influence of the different chemical compositions on the occurence of gravitational, thermal and thermal-viscous instabilities in the discs. In particular in the cooler regions, we find major differences between Pop and Pop discs, both in the st...
متن کاملThe Virial Theorem for Action-governed Theories
We describe a simple derivation of virial relations, for arbitrary physical systems that are governed by an action. The virial theorem may be derived directly from the action, A, with no need to go via the equations of motion, and is simply a statement of the stationarity of the action with respect to certain variations in the degrees of freedom. Only a sub-class of solutions that obey appropri...
متن کاملEclipse mapping of accretion discs
The eclipse mapping method is an inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs. In this review I present the basics of the method and discuss its different implementations. I summarize the most important results obtained to date and discuss how they have helped to improve our...
