Screening of the Magnetic Field of Disk Accreting Stars
R. V. E. Lovelace, M. M. Romanova, G. S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan
An analytical model is developed for the screening of the external magnetic field of a rotating, axisymmetric neutron star due to the accretion of plasma from a disk. The decrease…
Bunching instability of rotating relativistic electron layers and coherent synchrotron radiation
Bjoern S. Schmekel, Richard V. E. Lovelace, Ira M. Wasserman
We study the stability of a collisionless, relativistic, finite-strength, cylindrical layer of charged particles in free space by solving the linearized Vlasov-Maxwell equations an…
Kilohertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations, Magnetic Fields and Mass of Neutron Stars in Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries
Dong Lai, Richard Lovelace, Ira Wasserman
It has recently been suggested that the maximum observed quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies, , for several low-mass X-ray binaries, particularly 4U 1820-30, corr…
Magnetohydrodynamic Origin of Jets from Accretion Disks
R. V. E. Lovelace, G. V. Ustyugova, A. V. Koldoba
A review is made of recent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory and simulations of origin of jets from accretion disks. Many compact astrophysical objects emit powerful, highly-collima…
On the Particle Heating and Acceleration in Black Hole Accretion Systems
H. Li, S. A. Colgate, M. Kusunose +1
The lack of our knowledge on how angular momentum is transported in accretion disks around black holes has prevented us from fully understanding their high energy emissions. We bri…
