Dynamo Action in Accretion Disks

Dynamo Action in Accretion Disks

Employing the standard theory for thin accretion disks I estimate the relevant parameters for a dynamo in an accretion disk. These estimates could then be compared to the results of numerical simulations. Some preliminary results of such simulations (Torkelsson & Brandenburg 1992) are presented...

Zusammenfassung:Employing the standard theory for thin accretion disks I estimate the relevant parameters for a dynamo in an accretion disk. These estimates could then be compared to the results of numerical simulations. Some preliminary results of such simulations (Torkelsson & Brandenburg 1992) are presented too.
