Particle Heating by Alfvenic Turbulence in Hot Accretion Flows
Eliot Quataert
Recent work on Alfvenic turbulence by Goldreich & Sridhar (1995; GS) suggests that the energy cascades almost entirely perpendicular to the local magnetic field. As a result, the c…

Are Particles in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows Thermal?
Rohan Mahadevan, Eliot Quataert
We investigate the form of the momentum distribution function for protons and electrons in an advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF). We show that for all accretion rates, Coulo…
