Initial Conditions of Magnetized AGN Accretion Disks from Cloud Capture and Disruption
Philip F. Hopkins
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (BHs) from the ISM can occur via capture of cold gas 'clouds' (GMCs, clumps, or overdense structures). Unlike material in stellar tidal disr…
Cosmic Ray Perpendicular Superdiffusion and Parallel Mirror Diffusion in a Partially Ionized and Turbulent Medium
Yue Hu, Siyao Xu, Alex Lazarian +2
Understanding cosmic ray (CR) diffusion in a partially ionized medium is both crucial and challenging. In this study, we investigate CR perpendicular superdiffusion and parallel tr…
Zooming In On The Multi-Phase Structure of Magnetically-Dominated Quasar Disks: Radiation From Torus to ISCO Across Accretion Rates
Philip F. Hopkins, Kung-Yi Su, Norman Murray +12
Recent radiation-thermochemical-magnetohydrodynamic simulations resolved formation of quasar accretion disks from cosmological scales down to ~300 gravitational radii , argu…
Multi-Phase Thermal Structure & The Origin of the Broad-Line Region, Torus, and Corona in Magnetically-Dominated Accretion Disks
Philip F. Hopkins
Recent simulations have demonstrated the formation of 'flux-frozen' and hyper-magnetized disks, qualitatively distinct from both classical disks and magnetically-arrested disks…
