Once more: Leaky MHD waves in coronal magnetic flux tubes

Hans Goedbloed, Rony Keppens

By a detailed comparison of leaky magnetohydrodynamic waves in coronal magnetic flux tubes with leaky electromagnetic waves in dielectric media it is shown that the latter kind may…

The hydrodynamic thermal continuum, with applications to stratified atmospheres and 1D coronal loop models

Rony Keppens, Jordi De Jonghe, Adrian Kelly +2

Using both analytical and numerical means, we demonstrate that linear stability analysis of a hydrodynamic stratified atmosphere or a 1D coronal loop model in non-adiabatic setting…

Parametric Survey of Nonaxisymmetric Accretion Disk Instabilities: Magnetorotational Instability to Super-Alfvénic Rotational Instability

Nicolas Brughmans, Rony Keppens, Hans Goedbloed

Accretion disks are highly unstable to magnetic instabilities driven by shear flow, where classically, the axisymmetric, weak-field Magneto-Rotational Instability (MRI) has receive…

The Super-Alfvénic Rotational Instability in accretion disks about black holes

Hans Goedbloed, Rony Keppens

The theory of instability of accretion disks about black holes, neutron stars or proto-planets, is revisited by means of the recent method of the Spectral Web. The cylindrical accr…

Transonic instabilities in accretion disks

Hans Goedbloed, Rony Keppens

In two previous publications, we have demonstrated that stationary rotation of magnetized plasma about a compact central object permits an enormous number of different MHD…
