Outline About the MRI Simulations – local disk MRI studies Simulations – global Kerr black hole accretion and jet formation

The Accretion Context Volumetric rendering of density in 3D accretion disk simulation Artist’s conception of a black hole binary with accretion disk

The Magnetorotational Instability The MRI is important in accretion disks because they are locally hydrodynamically stable by the Rayleigh criterion, dL/dR > 0, but are MHD unstable when dW2/dR < 0 The MHD instability is: Local Linear Independent of field strength and orientation The measure of the importance of a magnetic field is not determined solely by the value of b

Magnetorotational Instability Stability requirement is One can always find a small enough wavenumber k so there will be an instability unless

MRI maximum growth Maximum unstable growth rate: Maximum rate occurs for wavenumbers For Keplerian profiles maximum growth rate and wavelengths:

Disks and Stars Disks – supported by rotation Stars – supported by pressure Disks – Entropy gradients generally perpendicular to angular velocity gradients Stars – BV frequency larger than rotational frequency Disks – solid body rotation not possible Stars – solid body rotation possible

Hoiland Criteria

Regions of Instability: Generalized Hoiland criteria, Keplerian profile W

Numerical Simulations of the MRI: Local and Global Local “Shearing boxes” Cylindrical disks (semi-global) Axisymmetric global Full 3D global simulations – Newtonian, pseudo-Newtonian Global simulations in Kerr metric

MRI in a shearing box MRI produces turbulence Maxwell stress proportional to Pmag Maxwell stress dominates over Reynolds Field b value 10-100 Toroidal field dominates Angular Velocity perturbations In a shearing box

Stress as a function of rotation profile Hawley, Balbus, Winters 1999 Solid body Keplerian Rayleigh unstable

Summary: Turbulence in Disks – Local Simulations Turbulence and transport are the inevitable consequence of differential rotation and magnetism Hydrodynamic (i.e. non MHD) disk turbulence is not sustained: it has no way to tap locally the free energy of differential rotation The MRI is an effective dynamo The flow is turbulent not viscous. Turbulence is a property of the flow; viscosity is a property of the fluid. A high Reynolds number turbulent flow does not resemble a low Reynolds number viscous flow

Global Disk Simulation

Accretion flow structures

Field in main disk Field is tangled; toroidal component dominates Field is sub-equipartion; b > 1 Field is correlated to provide stress

Properties of Accretion Disk Accretion disk angular momentum distribution near Keplerian Disk is MHD turbulent due to the MRI Maxwell stress drives accretion. Average stress values 0.1 to 0.01 thermal pressure. Toroidal fields dominate, stress ~ ½ magnetic pressure Large scale fluctuations and low-m spiral features Low-spin models have come into approximate steady state Relative accretion rate drops as a function of increasing black hole spin

What about Jets? A combination of Rotation, Accretion, Magnetic Field Young stellar objects – accreting young star X-ray binaries – accreting NS or BH Symbiotic stars – accreting WD Supersoft X-ray sources – accreting WD Pulsars – rotating NS AGN – accreting supermassive BH Gamma ray burst systems

Funnel Properties Funnel is evacuated Poloidal radial field created by ejection of field from plunging inflow into funnel Field in pressure equilibrium with corona Toroidal field can be generated by black hole spin – outgoing Poynting flux Unbound mass outflow at funnel wall

Origin of funnel field Magnetic field is ejected into the centrifugally-evacuated funnel Spin of the black hole creates outgoing EM energy Radial magnetic field energy density

Poynting Flux for Different Black Hole Spins

Jet Luminosity a/M hjet hjet / hms Poynting 0.0 0.002 0.03 0.06 0.5 0.013 0.16 0.34 0.9 0.029 0.18 0.47 0.998 0.56 0.87

Funnel and jets: a summary Outflow throughout funnel, but only at funnel wall is there significant mass flux Outgoing velocity ~0.4 - 0.6 c in mass flux Poynting flux dominates in funnel Jet luminosity increases with hole spin Fraction of jet luminosity in Poynting flux increases with spin Both pressure and Lorentz forces important for acceleration

Conclusions Magnetic field fundamentally alters stability properties of rotating fluid – Hoiland criteria replaced MRI effective in generating turbulence, amplifying field (dynamo), transporting angular momentum Centrifugal effects create evacuated funnel Magnetic fields can launch jets and other outflows Rotation of black hole can power jets and affect disk
