Idealized Global Models of Accretion Disks with Strong Toroidal Magnetic Fields
Minghao Guo, Eliot Quataert, Jonathan Squire +2
We present global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of idealized accretion disks with a strong toroidal magnetic field using an equation of state that fixes the gas thermal sca…
Thermodynamics and collisionality in firehose-susceptible high- plasmas
A. F. A. Bott, M. W. Kunz, E. Quataert +2
We study the evolution of collisionless plasmas that, due to their macroscopic evolution, are susceptible to the firehose instability, using both analytic theory and hybrid-kinetic…
Rapid, strongly magnetized accretion in the zero-net-vertical-flux shearing box
Jonathan Squire, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins
We show that there exist two qualitatively distinct turbulent states of the zero-net-vertical-flux shearing box. The first, which has been studied in detail previously, is characte…
Self-organization in collisionless, high- turbulence
S. Majeski, M. W. Kunz, J. Squire
The MHD equations, as a collisional fluid model that remains in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), have long been used to describe turbulence in myriad space and astrophysical…
An Analytic Model For Magnetically-Dominated Accretion Disks
Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire, Eliot Quataert +6
Recent numerical cosmological radiation-magnetohydrodynamic-thermochemical-star formation simulations have resolved the formation of quasar accretion disks with Eddington or super-…
FORGE'd in FIRE II: The Formation of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Accretion Disks from Cosmological Initial Conditions
Philip F. Hopkins, Jonathan Squire, Kung-Yi Su +9
In a companion paper, we reported the self-consistent formation of quasar accretion disks with inflow rates down to <300 Schwarzschild radii fro…
