Rossby Wave Instability in Accretion Discs with Large-Scale Poloidal Magnetic Fields
Cong Yu, Dong Lai
We study the effect of large-scale magnetic fields on the non-axisymmetric Rossby wave instability (RWI) in accretion discs. The instability develops around a density bump, which i…

Magnetar Giant Flares --- Flux Rope Eruptions in Multipolar Magnetospheric Magnetic Fields
Cong Yu
We address a primary question regarding the physical mechanism that triggers the energy release and initiates the onset of eruptions in the magnetar magnetosphere. A self-consisten…

Rossby Wave Instability in three dimensional discs
H. Meheut, C. Yu, D. Lai
The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is a promising mechanism for producing large-scale vortices in protoplanetary discs. The instability operates around a density bump in the disc, a…
