Sustained Magnetorotational Turbulence in Local Simulations of Stratified Disks with Zero Net Magnetic Flux
S. W. Davis, J. M. Stone, M. E. Pessah
We examine the effects of density stratification on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability in local simulations that adopt the shearing box appr…
The Effects of Magnetic Fields and Inhomogeneities on Accretion Disk Spectra and Polarization
S. W. Davis, O. M. Blaes, S. Hirose +1
We present the results of one and three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations of polarized spectra emerging from snapshots of radiation magnetohydrodynamical simulations of t…
A Determination of the Spin of the Black Hole Primary in LMC X-1
Lijun Gou, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Jifeng Liu +7
The first extragalactic X-ray binary, LMC X-1, was discovered in 1969. In the 1980s, its compact primary was established as the fourth dynamical black-hole candidate. Recently, we…
