Heating of Accretion-Disk Coronae and Jets by General Relativistic MHD Turbulence

Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Francois Foucart, Alexander Tchekhovskoy

Turbulence in an accretion disk launches Alfvén waves (AWs) that propagate away from the disk along magnetic field lines. Because the Alfvén speed varies with distance from the dis…
