The Nonlinear Ohm's Law: Plasma Heating by Strong Electric Fields and its Effects on the Ionization Balance in Protoplanetary Disks
Satoshi Okuzumi, Shu-ichiro Inutsuka
The ionization state of the gas plays a key role in the MHD of protoplanetary disks. However, the ionization state can depend on the gas dynamics, because electric fields induced b…

On the Viability of the Magnetorotational Instability in Circumplanetary Disks
Yuri I. Fujii, Satoshi Okuzumi, Takayuki Tanigawa +1
We examine whether the magnetorotational instability (MRI) can serve as a mechanism of angular momentum transport in circumplanetary disks. For the MRI to operate the ionization de…
