Dynamical Effects of Magnetic Opacity in Neutron Star Accretion Columns
Xin Sheng, Lizhong Zhang, Omer Blaes +1
We present relativistic, radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of supercritical neutron star accretion columns in Cartesian geometry, including temperature-dependent, polarizat…
Spectral calculations of 3D RMHD simulations of super-Eddington accretion onto a stellar-mass black hole
Brianna S. Mills, Shane W. Davis, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
We use the Athena++ Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transfer module to post-process simulation snapshots from non-relativistic Athena++ radiation magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations.…
Cosmic-Ray Driven Galactic Winds from the Warm Interstellar Medium
Shaunak Modak, Eliot Quataert, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
We study the properties of cosmic-ray (CR) driven galactic winds from the warm interstellar medium using idealized spherically symmetric time-dependent simulations. The key ingredi…
Dynamics of Neutron Star Accretion Columns in Split-Monopole Magnetic Fields
Lizhong Zhang, Omer Blaes, Yan-Fei Jiang
We perform 2D axisymmetric radiative relativistic MHD simulations of radiation pressure supported neutron star accretion columns in split-monopole magnetic fields. The accretion co…
Multi-group Radiation Magneto-hydrodynamics based on Discrete Ordinates including Compton Scattering
Yan-Fei Jiang
We present a formulation and numerical algorithm to extend the scheme for grey radiation magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) developed by Jiang (2021) to include the frequency dependence v…
Radiative Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Neutron Star Column Accretion in Cartesian Geometry
Lizhong Zhang, Omer Blaes, Yan-Fei Jiang
High luminosity accretion onto a strongly magnetized neutron star results in a radiation pressure dominated, magnetically confined accretion column. We investigate the dynamics of…
