Magneto-Thermal Instability in Galaxy Clusters -- III. The Limit of Adiabatic Stratification
Lorenzo Maria Perrone, Henrik Latter
In the hot and dilute intracluster medium of galaxy clusters, large-scale buoyancy instabilities can develop due to the transport of heat along magnetic field lines. In particular,…
Global magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the inner regions of protoplanetary discs. II. Vertical-net-flux regime
Matthew J. O. Roberts, Henrik N. Latter, Geoffroy Lesur
The inner regions of protoplanetary discs, which encompass the putative habitable zone, are dynamically complex, featuring a relatively well-ionised, turbulent active zone located…
The effect of dust on vortices II: Streaming instabilities
Nathan Magnan, Henrik Nils Latter
One of the main questions in planet formation theory is how to cross the metre-scale barrier. In this two-part series, we assess the merits of vortex-based theories by investigatin…
The effect of dust on vortices I: Laminar models
Nathan Magnan, Henrik Nils Latter
One of the main questions regarding planet formation is how to cross the metre-scale barrier. Several theories rely on the formation of dust clumps dense enough to collapse under t…
Global magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the inner regions of protoplanetary discs. I. Zero-net flux regime
Matthew J. O. Roberts, Henrik N. Latter, Geoffroy Lesur
The inner regions of protoplanetary discs, which encompass the putative habitable zone, are dynamically complex, featuring a well-ionised, turbulent active inner region and a poorl…
On the numerical convergence of MRI simulations
Thomas Jannaud, Henrik N. Latter
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) plays a crucial role in the evolution of many types of accretion disks. It is often studied using ideal-MHD numerical simulations. In princi…
