چکیده

Context. Recently, much attention has been paid to the magnetic coupling (MC) process, which is supported by very high emissivity indexes observed in Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 and GBHC XTE J1650-500. But the rotational energy transferred from a black hole is simply assumed to be radiated away from the surrounding accretion disk in black-body spectrum, which is obviously not consistent with the observed hard power-law X-ray spectra. Aims. We intend to introduce corona into the MC model to make it more compatible with the observations. Methods. We describe the model and the procedure of a simplified Monte Carlo simulation, compare the output spectra in the cases with and without the MC effects, and discuss the influences of three parameters involved in the MC process on the output spectra. Results. It is shown that the MC process augments radiation fluxes in the UV or X-ray band. The emergent spectrum is affected by the BH spin and magnetic field strength at the BH horizon, while it is almost unaffected by the radial profile of the magnetic field at the disk. Conclusions. Introducing corona into the MC model will improve the fitting of the output spectra from AGNs and GBHCs. Key words. accretion – accretion disks – black hole physics – magnetic field – corona

Dynamics and Energetics of Turbulent, Magnetized Disk Accretion around Black Holes: a First-principles Approach to Disk–corona–outflow Coupling

We present an analytic description of turbulent, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disk accretion around black holes that specifically addresses the relationship between radial and vertical, mean-field transport of mass, momentum and energy, thereby complementing and extending numerical simulations. The azimuthal-vertical component of the magnetic stress is fundamental to an understanding of disk– coro...

Spectra from a magnetic reconnection-heated corona in AGN

We investigate a corona coupled with underlying disk through magnetic field and radiation field, and present emergent spectra. Due to buoyancy the magnetic flux loop emerges from the disk and reconnects with other loops in the corona, thereby releasing the magnetic energy to heat the coronal plasma. The energy is then radiated away through Compton scattering. By studying the energy balance in t...

Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Stresses and Perturbation of Magnetic Field Vector in a Thin Functionally Graded Rotating Disk

In this paper, a semi-analytical solution for magneto-thermo-elastic problem in an axisymmetric functionally graded (FG) hollow rotating disk with constant thickness placed in uniform magnetic and thermal fields with heat convection from disk’s surfaces is presented. Solution for stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector in a thin FG rotating disk is determined using infinitesimal theo...

Recent progress in observations and understanding of spectra of Seyfert Galaxies shows that X-rays are most likely produced by magnetic flares on the surface of the disk, similar to Solar X-ray emission. However, while the model reproduces the shape of the spectrum well, the question of the overall normalization of the X-ray component relative to the bolometric luminosity has not been previousl...

MRS Shimming: An Important Point Which Should not be Ignored

Introduction: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a well-known device for analyzing the biological fluids metabolically. Obtaining accurate and reliable information via MRS needs a homogeneous magnetic field in order to provide well-defined peaks and uniform water suppression. There are lots of reasons which can disturb the magnetic field homogeneity which can be corrected by a proc...
