2-D MHD Configurations for Accretion Disks Around Magnetized Stars
arXiv:0912.1721
Abstract
We discuss basic features of steady accretion disk morphology around magnetized compact astrophysical objects. A comparison between the standard model of accretion based on visco-resistive MHD and the plasma instabilities, like ballooning modes, triggered by very low value of resistivity, is proposed.
