Why Disks Shine: the Transport of Angular Momentum in Hot, Thin Disks
E. T. Vishniac
I review recent work on the radial transport of angular momentum in ionized, Keplerian accretion disks. Proposed mechanisms include hydrodynamic and MHD local instabilities and lon…

Does Dissipation in AGN Disks Couple to the Total Pressure?
E. T. Vishniac
Recent work on the transport of angular momentum in accretion disks suggests that the Velikhov-Chandrasekhar instability, in which a large scale magnetic field generates small scal…

Angular Momentum Loss in Low Mass Accretion Disks
ET Vishniac, PH Diamond
We review mechanisms for the transport of angular momentum in accretion disks that are low mass, in the sense that the gravitational forces produced by the material in these disks…
