The Collisionless Magnetoviscous-Thermal Instability
Tanim Islam
It is likely that nearly all central galactic massive and supermassive black holes are nonradiative: their accretion luminosities are orders of magnitude below what can be explaine…
Axisymmetric Nonlinear Waves And Structures in Hall Plasmas
Tanim Islam
In this paper, a general equation for the evolution of an axisymmetric magnetic field in a Hall plasma is derived, with an integral similar to the Grad-Shafranov equation. Special…
The Magnetoviscous-thermal Instability
Tanim Islam
Accretion flows onto underluminous black holes, such as Sagittarius A* at the center of our galaxy, are dilute (mildly collisional to highly collisionless), optically thin, and rad…
The Dynamics of the Magnetoviscous Instability
Tanim Islam, Steven Balbus
In dilute astrophysical plasmas, the collisional mean free path of a particle can exceed its Larmor radius. Under these conditions, the thermal conductivity and viscosity of the pl…
