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.…
