The Magnetorotational Instability in a Collisionless Plasma
Eliot Quataert, William Dorland, Greg Hammett
We consider the linear axisymmetric stability of a differentially rotating collisionless plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field; we restrict our analysis to wavelengths mu…

The Magnetohydrodynamics of Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows
Ramesh Narayan, Eliot Quataert, Igor V. Igumenshchev +1
Radiatively inefficient accretion flows onto black holes are unstable due to both an outwardly decreasing entropy (`convection') and an outwardly decreasing rotation rate (the `mag…

A Thermal Bremsstrahlung Model For the Quiescent X-ray Emission from Sagittarius A*
Eliot Quataert
I consider the thermal bremsstrahlung emission from hot accretion flows (Bondi/ADAFs), taking into account the finite size of the observing telescope's beam (R_beam) relative to th…
