Hot Accretion onto White Dwarfs in Quiescent Dwarf Novae
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Kristen Menou
We present dynamically consistent solutions for hot accretion onto unmagnetized, rotating white dwarfs (WDs) in five quiescent dwarf novae. The measured WD rotation rates (and othe…
Thermal Conduction in Clusters of Galaxies
Ramesh Narayan, Mikhail V. Medvedev
We estimate the thermal conductivity of a weakly collisional magnetized plasma with chaotic magnetic field fluctuations. When the fluctuation spectrum extends over two or more deca…
Thermal Conduction and the Stability of Hot Accretion Flows
Mikhail V. Medvedev, Ramesh Narayan
Recently, Medvedev & Narayan (2001) discovered a new type of accretion flow, a hot settling flow around a rapidly rotating neutron star. The flow is cooling-dominated and energetic…
Physics of Collisionless GRB Shocks and Their Radiation Properties
Mikhail V. Medvedev
We present a theory of ultrarelativistic collisionless shocks based on the relativistic kinetic two-stream instability. We demonstrate that the shock front is unstable to the gener…
Self-Similar Hot Accretion Flow onto a Rotating Neutron Star: Structure and Stability
Mikhail Medvedev, Ramesh Narayan
We present analytical and numerical solutions which describe a hot, viscous, two-temperature accretion flow onto a rotating neutron star or any other rotating compact star with a s…
Constraints on SIDM with flavor mixing
Mikhail Medvedev
The self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model with flavor mixing (astro-ph/0010616) was proposed to resolve problems of the CDM model on small scales by keeping attractive features…
