Magnetic Hair and Reconnection in Black Hole Magnetospheres
Ashley Bransgrove, Bart Ripperda, Alexander Philippov
The no-hair theorem of general relativity states that isolated black holes are characterized by three parameters: mass, spin, and charge. In this Letter we consider Kerr black hole…
Scaling of Small-Scale Dynamo Properties in the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
Valentin Skoutnev, Elias R. Most, Amitava Bhattacharjee +1
We derive scaling relations based on free-fall and isotropy assumptions for the kinematic small-scale dynamo growth rate and amplification factor over the course of the mixing, sat…
Boundary Layers of Accretion Disks: Discovery of Vortex-Driven Modes and Other Waves
Matthew S. B. Coleman, Roman R. Rafikov, Alexander A. Philippov
Disk accretion onto weakly magnetized objects possessing a material surface must proceed via the so-called boundary layer (BL) - a region at the inner edge of the disk, in which th…
