摘要:

本文采用三维节能辐射磁流体动力学程序对剪切箱的垂直结构和热力学进行了数值模拟,剪切箱的参数选择使得辐射和气体压力具有可比性。这部分盘的上层是磁性主导的,创造了适合光子泡和帕克不稳定性的条件。我们几乎没有发现光子气泡的证据,即使模拟有足够的空间分辨率来看到它们,并且它们的预测增长率很高。另一方面,有强有力的证据帕克不稳定性,他们似乎主导的磁支持的表面层的演变。盘光球是复杂的,在散射和有效(热化)光球的不断发展的水平平均结构的大密度不均匀性。无论是占主导地位的磁支持和不均匀性很可能有强烈的影响,从磁盘大气中出现的热光子的光谱和偏振。这种不均匀性也大到足以影响吸积盘大气反射光谱的模型。

英文摘要:

We have employed a 3-d energy-conserving radiation MHD code to simulate the vertical structure and thermodynamics of a shearing box whose parameters were chosen so that the radiation and gas pressures would be comparable. The upper layers of this disk segment are magnetically-dominated, creating conditions appropriate for both photon bubble and Parker instabilities. We find little evidence for photon bubbles, even though the simulation has enough spatial resolution to see them and their predicted growth rates are high. On the other hand, there is strong evidence for Parker instabilities, and they appear to dominate the evolution of the magnetically supported surface layers. The disk photosphere is complex, with large density inhomogeneities at both the scattering and effective (thermalization) photospheres of the evolving horizontally-averaged structure. Both the dominant magnetic support and the inhomogeneities are likely to have strong effects on the spectrum and polarization of thermal photons emerging from the disk atmosphere. The inhomogeneities are also large enough to affect models of reflection spectra from the atmospheres of accretion disks.
