Planetesimal growth in turbulent discs before the onset of gravitational instability
Alexander Hubbard, Eric G. Blackman
It is difficult to imagine a planet formation model that does not at some stage include a gravitationally unstable disc. Initially unstable gas-dust discs may form planets directly…
How magnetic helicity ejection helps large scale dynamos
A. Brandenburg, E. G. Blackman, G. R. Sarson
There is mounting evidence that the ejection of magnetic helicity from the solar surface is important for the solar dynamo. Observations suggest that in the northern hemisphere the…
Dynamos in Asymptotic-Giant-Branch Stars As the Origin of Magnetic Fields Shaping Planetary Nebulale
Eric G. Blackman, Adam Frank, J. Andrew Markiel +2
Planetary nebulae are thought to be formed when a slow wind from the progenitor giant star is overtaken by a subsequent fast wind generated as the star enters its white dwarf stage…
Some Consequences of Magnetic Fields in High Energy Sources
Eric G. Blackman
Magnetic fields likely play a fundamental intermediary role between gravity and radiation in many astrophysical rotators. They can, among other things, 1) induce and be amplified b…
GRBs from unstable Poynting dominated outflows
Maxim Lyutikov, Eric G. Blackman
Poynting flux driven outflows from magnetized rotators are a plausible explanation for gamma-ray burst engines. We suggest a new possibility for how such outflows might transfer en…
Two-temperature coronae in active galactic nuclei
T. Di Matteo, E. G. Blackman, A. C. Fabian
We show that coronal magnetic dissipation in thin active sheets that sandwich standard thin accretion disks in active galactic nuclei may account for canonical electron temperature…
