The Influence of Magnetic Field Geometry on the Evolution of Black Hole Accretion Flows: Similar Disks, Drastically Different Jets
Kris Beckwith, John F. Hawley, Julian H. Krolik
Because the magneto-rotational instability is capable of exponentially amplifying weak preexisting magnetic fields, it might be hoped that the character of the magnetic field in ac…
Surface Structure in an Accretion Disk Annulus with Comparable Radiation and Gas Pressure
Omer Blaes, Shigenobu Hirose, Julian H. Krolik
We have employed a 3-d energy-conserving radiation MHD code to simulate the vertical structure and thermodynamics of a shearing box whose parameters were chosen so that the radiati…
Thermodynamics of an Accretion Disk Annulus with Comparable Radiation and Gas Pressure
Julian H. Krolik, Shigenobu Hirose, Omer Blaes
We explore the thermodynamic and global structural properties of a local patch of an accretion disk whose parameters were chosen so that radiation pressure and gas pressure would b…
AGN Obscuring Tori Supported by Infrared Radiation Pressure
Julian H. Krolik
Explicit 2-d axisymmetric solutions are found to the hydrostatic equilibrium, energy balance, and photon diffusion equations within obscuring tori around active galactic nuclei. Th…
