Surface Structure in an Accretion Disk Annulus with Comparable Radiation and Gas Pressure

Omer Blaes, Shigenobu Hirose, Julian H. Krolik

We have employed a 3-d energy-conserving radiation MHD code to simulate the vertical structure and thermodynamics of a shearing box whose parameters were chosen so that the radiati…

Thermodynamics of an Accretion Disk Annulus with Comparable Radiation and Gas Pressure

Julian H. Krolik, Shigenobu Hirose, Omer Blaes

We explore the thermodynamic and global structural properties of a local patch of an accretion disk whose parameters were chosen so that radiation pressure and gas pressure would b…

Magnetic pressure support and accretion disk spectra

O. M. Blaes, S. W. Davis, S. Hirose +2

Stellar atmosphere models of ionized accretion disks have generally neglected the contribution of magnetic fields to the vertical hydrostatic support, although magnetic fields are…

Vertical Structure of Gas Pressure-Dominated Accretion Disks with Local Dissipation of Turbulence and Radiative Transport

Shigenobu Hirose, Julian H. Krolik, James M. Stone

(shortened) We calculate the vertical structure of a local patch of an accretion disk in which heating by dissipation of MRI-driven MHD turbulence is balanced by radiative cooling.…

Magnetically Driven Accretion Flows in the Kerr Metric IV: Dynamical Properties of the Inner Disk

Julian H. Krolik, John F. Hawley, Shigenobu Hirose

This paper continues the analysis of a set of general relativistic 3D MHD simulations of accreting tori in the Kerr metric with different black hole spins. We focus on bound matter…

Magnetically Driven Accretion in the Kerr Metric III: Unbound Outflows

Jean-Pierre De Villiers, John F. Hawley, Julian H. Krolik +1

We have carried out fully relativistic numerical simulations of accretion disks in the Kerr metric. In this paper we focus on the unbound outflows that emerge self-consistently fro…
