Photon Bubbles in Young Massive Stars
N. J. Turner, H. W. Yorke, A. Socrates +1
Spectroscopic studies indicate that gas in the photospheres of young O stars moves at speeds up to the sound speed. We show, using two-dimensional radiation MHD calculations and re…

X-ray Reflection from Inhomogeneous Accretion Disks: I. Toy Models and Photon Bubbles
D. R. Ballantyne, N. J. Turner, O. M. Blaes
Numerical simulations of the interiors of radiation dominated accretion disks show that significant density inhomogeneities can be generated in the gas. Here, we present the first…
