Abstract:

Recently, in a series of papers, Mukhopadhyay and his collaborators have argued for possible pure hydrodynamic turbulence in a Keplerian accretion disk. This is essentially important to solving the puzzle of the transport mechanism in cold accretion disk systems where the temperature could be lower than 5000 K, where magnetorotational instability seems not to be working to trigger turbulence. Here we quantify the corresponding instability and turbulence in terms of turbulent viscosity and obtain the famous Shakura–Shunyaev viscosity parameter, α. It is exciting that the range of α obtained fro

Abstract:

Adopting the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) numerical method, we performed a grid of evolving models of a 3D, axially symmetric, physically viscous accretion disc around a black hole (BH) in an AGN. In such disc models, the role of the specific angular momentum λ and of the physical turbulent viscosity parameter α, according to the Shakura and Sunyaev prescription, are examined. One or two shock fronts develop in the radial inviscid flow, according to the assigned initial kinematic and thermodynamic conditions. Couples of (α, λ) values determine radial periodical oscillations in the sho

Abstract:

Abstract We perform 3D radiation hydrodynamic local shearing-box simulations to study the outcome of gravitational instability (GI) in optically thick active galactic nuclei (AGNs) accretion disks. GI develops when the Toomre parameter Q T ≲ 1, and may lead to turbulent heating that balances radiative cooling. However, when radiative cooling is too efficient, the disk may undergo runaway gravitational fragmentation. In the fully gas-pressure-dominated case, we confirm the classical result that such a thermal balance holds when the Shakura–Sunyaev viscosity parameter (α) due to the gravitationa

Abstract:

Abstract The role of radiation pressure in dust migration and the opening of inner cavities in transitional disks is revisited in this paper. Dust dynamics including radiation pressure is often studied in axisymmetric models, but in this work, we show that highly non-axisymmetric features can arise from an instability at the inner disk edge. Dust grains clump into high density features there, allowing radiation to leak around them and penetrate deeper into the disk, changing the course of dust migration. Our proof-of-concept, two-dimensional, vertically averaged simulations show that the combi

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Protoplanetary discs form and evolve in a wide variety of stellar environments and are accordingly exposed to a wide range of ambient far-ultraviolet (FUV) field strengths. Strong FUV fields are known to drive vigorous gaseous flows from the outer disc. In this paper we conduct the first systematic exploration of the evolution of the solid component of discs subject to external photoevaporation. We find that the main effect of photoevaporation is to reduce the reservoir of dust at large radii and this leads to more efficient subsequent depletion of the disc dust due to radial drift. E

Abstract:

Abstract It is still unclear whether the evolution of protoplanetary disks, a key ingredient in the theory of planet formation, is driven by viscous turbulence or magnetic disk winds. As viscously evolving disks expand outward over time, the evolution of disk sizes is a discriminant test for studying disk evolution. However, it is unclear how the observed disk size changes over time if disk evolution is driven by magnetic disk winds. Combining the thermo-chemical code DALI with the analytical wind-driven disk-evolution model presented in Tabone et al., we study the time evolution of the observ

Abstract:

AbstractWe present some initial results of our numerical, 2D hydrodynamical models of line driven flows from the accretion disk in cataclysmic variables. We assume the disk radiation pressure pushes out the isothermal material from a flat, geometrically thin, Keplerian disk.We calculate the disk radiation field using the surface brightness of a standard “α disk” (Shakura & Sunyaev 1973). We do not include a bright boundary layer in the calculations. We approximate the total radiative line acceleration, adopting the formalism due to Castor, Abbott, & Klein (1975). We use our generalized

Abstract:

Context. The transition between magnetorotational instability (MRI)-active and magnetically dead regions corresponds to a sharp change in the disk turbulence level, where pressure maxima may form, hence potentially trapping dust particles and explaining some of the observed disk substructures. Aims. We aim to provide the first building blocks toward a self-consistent approach to assess the dead zone outer edge as a viable location for dust trapping, under the framework of viscously driven accretion. Methods. We present a 1+1D global magnetically driven disk accretion model that captures the es

Abstract:

Abstract Using hydrodynamic principles we investigate the nature of the disk viscosity following the parameterization by Shakura & Sunyaev adopted for the viscous decretion model in classical Be stars. We consider a radial viscosity distribution including a constant value, a radially variable α assuming a power-law density distribution, and isothermal disks, for a late-B central star. We also extend our analysis by determining a self-consistent temperature disk distribution to model the late-type Be star 1 Delphini, which is thought to have a nonvariable, stable disk as evidenced by Hα emi

Abstract:

With the determined black-hole (BH) spin of 3C 273 by data-fitting to the detected iron Kα line emission in the soft X-ray band, the BH mass of the galaxy is predicted by formulations of both the observed disk-luminosity in the optical-UV band and the observed jet-precession in the radio band. The multiband synthesis suggests that the BH is supermassive, 2.4 × 109M⊙. Simultaneously, other physical parameters are self-consistently obtained at the precessing radius of 230.2rg: the accretion rate of the disk is 74.9M⊙ yr−1, the Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity α is 0.134, and the radial & orbital ve
