PhD project: Modelling the Coronae and Jets of Accretion Disks
نویسنده
چکیده
Figure 1: Schematic illustration (not to scale) of a black hole–accretion disk–corona–wind–relativistic jet system. Two possible configurations for the magnetic field are depicted: A partially ordered + chaotic magnetic field is shown on the left; an ordered magnetic field on the right. The distribution of the corona is indicative. Possible locations of dissipative regions leading to high energy blazar emission are indicated.

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars
Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...
متن کاملCoronae & Outflows from Helical Dynamos, Compatibility with the MRI, and Application to Protostellar Disks
Magnetically mediated disk outflows are a leading paradigm to explain winds and jets in a variety of astrophysical sources, but where do the fields come from? Since accretion of mean magnetic flux may be disfavored in a thin turbulent disk, and only fields generated with sufficiently large scale can escape before being shredded by turbulence, in situ field production is desirable. Nonlinear hel...
متن کاملInterpreting a Dwarf Nova Eruption as Magnetic Flare Activity
We suggest that the radio emission from the dwarf nova SS Cyg during outburst comes from magnetic activity that formed a corona (similar to coronae found in magnetically active stars), rather than from jets. We base our claim on the recent results of Laor & Behar, who found that when the ratio between radio and X-ray flux of accretion disks in radio-quiet quasars is as in active stars, Lr/Lx . ...
متن کاملThe Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows
In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...
متن کاملMicroquasars in the low/hard state: strong coronae, compact jets, and the high frequency variability
We apply a model of magnetically dominated coronae above standard accretion discs to the low/hard state of galactic black holes. When the disc-corona coupling is accounted for self-consistently assuming that magneto-rotational instability is at work in the disc, and that the corona is generated by buoyant escape of disc magnetic structures, then the model predicts powerful, X-ray emitting coron...
