Magnetohydrodynamic Shearing Waves
Bryan M. Johnson
I consider the nonaxisymmetric linear theory of a rotating, isothermal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shear flow. The analysis is performed in the shearing box, a local model of a thin…

The Effects of Thermal Conduction on Radiatively-Inefficient Accretion Flows
Bryan M. Johnson, Eliot Quataert
We quantify the effects of electron thermal conduction on the properties of hot accretion flows, under the assumption of spherical symmetry. Electron heat conduction is important f…

Vortices in Thin, Compressible, Unmagnetized Disks
Bryan M. Johnson, Charles F. Gammie
We consider the formation and evolution of vortices in a hydrodynamic shearing-sheet model. The evolution is done numerically using a version of the ZEUS code. Consistent with earl…
