Accretion Discs with Strong Toroidal Magnetic Fields
M. C. Begelman, J. E. Pringle
Simulations and analytic arguments suggest that the turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability (MRI) in accretion discs can amplify the toroidal (azimuthal) component of th…

The Nature of SS433 and the Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
M. C. Begelman, A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
The periodic precession (162--day) and nodding (6.3--day) motions of the jets in SS433 are driven in the outer regions of the disc, whereas the jets themselves, being relativistic,…

Filaments, Bubbles, and Weak Shocks in the Gaseous Atmosphere of M87
W. Forman, E. Churazov, C. Jones +10
We present the first results from a 500 ksec Chandra ACIS-I observation of M87. At soft energies (0.5-1.0 keV), we detect filamentary structures associated with the eastern and sou…
