A Magnetic Alternative to the Standard Viscous Accretion Disc
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A magnetic alternative to the standard viscous accretion disc is presented. The magnetic field is generated and maintained in the disc by a dynamo mechanism. Magnetic stresses dominate in the advection of angular momentum, and only weak turbulence is needed to generate the required field.
