Limitations of the Hamiltonian Treatment for Collisionless Astrophysical Accretion Flows
Vladimir I. Pariev, Eric G. Blackman
In the Hamiltonian treatment of purely mechanical systems, the canonical and actual momentum of a particle are the same. In contrast, for a plasma of charged particles and electrom…
The Last Hurrah: PPN Formation by a Magnetic Explosion
Sean Matt, Adam Frank, Eric Blackman
We discuss a mechanism by which a giant star can expel its envelope in an outburst, leaving its core exposed. The outburst is powered by rotational kinetic energy of the core, tran…
Formation of Turbulent Cones in Accretion Disk Outflows and Application to Broad Line Regions of Active Galactic Nuclei
A. Y. Poludnenko, E. G. Blackman, A. Frank
We consider the stability of an accretion disk wind to cloud formation when subject to a central radiation force. For a vertical launch velocity profile that is Keplerian or flatte…
Magnetized Astrophysical Outflows: Cradle to Grave, Source to Effect
Adam Frank, Thomas A. Gardiner, Thibaut Lery
We discuss the propagation of radiative MHD jets and outflows focusing on outflows driven by magneto-centrifugal rotators. Our goal is to link the properties of the jets with the p…
Hydrodynamic collimation of YSO jets
Adam Frank, Garrelt Mellema
We present the results of numerical hydrodynamic models for the collimation of outflows from young stellar objects. We show that the presence of a toroidal environment can lead to…
