Reconnection in Marginally Collisionless Accretion Disk Coronae
J. Goodman, D. Uzdensky
We point out that a conventional construction placed upon observations of accreting black holes, in which their nonthermal X-ray spectra are produced by inverse comptonization in a…
Supermassive Stars in Quasar Disks
Jeremy Goodman, Jonathan C. Tan
We propose that supermassive stars may form in quasar accretion disks, and we discuss possible observational consequences. The structure and stability of very massive stars are rev…
Selfgravity and QSO disks
Jeremy Goodman
It is well known that the outer parts of QSO accretion disks are prone to selfgravity if heated solely by orbital dissipation. Such disks might be expected to form stars rather tha…
Secular Instability and Planetesimal Formation in the Dust Layer
J. Goodman, B. Pindor
Late in the gaseous phase of a protostellar disk, centimeter-sized bodies probably settle into a thin ``dust layer'' at the midplane. A velocity difference between the dust layer a…
