Thermomagnetic instability of a rotating magnetized plasma disk

Giovanni Montani, Riccardo Benini, Nakia Carlevaro +1

We analyze the stability of a thin plasma disk which is rotating around a compact astrophysical object and is embedded in the strong magnetic field of such a source. The aim of thi…

Crystalline Structure of Accretion Disks: Features of the Global Model

Giovanni Montani, Riccardo Benini

In this paper, we develop the analysis of a two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical configuration for an axially symmetric and rotating plasma (embedded in a dipole like magnetic fie…

Stability of a self-gravitating homogeneous resistive plasma

Daniela Pugliese, Nakia Carlevaro, Massimiliano Lattanzi +2

In this paper, we analyze the stability of a homogeneous self-gravitating plasma, having a non-zero resistivity. This study provides a generalization of the Jeans paradigm for dete…

Ring sequence decomposition of an accretion disk: the viscoresistive approach

Riccardo Benini, Giovanni Montani, Jacopo Petitta

We analyze a two dimensional viscoresistive magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) model for a thin accretion disk which reconciles the crystalline structure outlined in [Coppi(2005), Coppi a…

Signatures of the neutrino thermal history in the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves

Riccardo Benini, Massimiliano Lattanzi, Giovanni Montani

In this paper we study the effect of the anisotropic stress generated by neutrinos on the propagation of primordial cosmological gravitational waves. The presence of anisotropic st…

A possible signature of cosmic neutrino decoupling in the nHz region of the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves

Massimiliano Lattanzi, Riccardo Benini, Giovanni Montani

In this paper we study the effect of cosmic neutrino decoupling on the spectrum of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). At temperatures T>>1 MeV, neutrinos constitute a perfect…
