Angular Momentum Transport in Thin Magnetically Arrested Disks
Megan D. Marshall, Mark J. Avara, Jonathan C. McKinney
In accretion disks with large-scale ordered magnetic fields, the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is marginally suppressed, so other processes may drive angular momentum transpo…

General Relativistic Radiation Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Thin Magnetically Arrested Disks
Danilo Morales Teixeira, Mark J. Avara, Jonathan C. McKinney
The classical, relativistic thin-disk theory of Novikov and Thorne (NT) predicts a maximum accretion efficiency of 40% for an optically thick, radiatively efficient accretion disk…
