磁场强度对热吸积气流特性的影响

The Effects of Magnetic Field Strength on Properties of Wind Generated from Hot Accretion Flow

De-Fu Bu, Amin Mosallanezhad

摘要:

观测表明,风可以在热吸积流中产生。通过数值模拟,Yuan等人研究了弱磁化吸积流产生的风的详细性质。然而,由强磁化热吸积流产生的风的性质还没有被研究。本文研究了弱磁化吸积流和强磁化吸积流产生的风的性质。我们重点讨论了磁场强度如何影响风的特性。本文求解了大尺度磁场作用下黑洞吸积的时间定常二维磁流体动力学方程。我们假设在径向方向上的自相似性。假设磁场与赤道面均匀对称。我们发现,风存在于弱磁化和强磁化吸积流。当磁场较弱(磁压比气压小2个数量级以上)时,风是由气压梯度和离心力驱动的。当磁场较强(磁压略小于气压)时,风是由气压梯度和磁压梯度力驱动的。强磁化情况下的风功率仅略大于弱磁化情况下的风功率。风的功率位于范围$ P_W \sim 10^{-4}-10^{-3} \dot M_{\rm in} c^2 $内,其中$ \dot M_{\rm in} $和$ c $分别是质量流入率和光速。简要讨论了风在活动星系核反馈中可能的作用。

英文摘要:

Observations indicate that wind can be generated in hot accretion flow. By performing numerical simulations, Yuan et al. studied the detailed properties of wind generated from weakly magnetized accretion flow. However, properties of wind generated from strongly magnetized hot accretion flow have not been studied. In this paper, we study the properties of wind generated from both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flow. We focus on how the magnetic field strength affects the wind properties. We solve time-steady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations of black hole accretion in the presence of large-scale magnetic field. We assume self-similarity in radial direction. The magnetic field is assumed to be evenly symmetric with the equatorial plane. We find that wind exists in both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flow. When magnetic field is weak (magnetic pressure is more than 2 orders of magnitude smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and centrifugal forces. When magnetic field is strong (magnetic pressure is slightly smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and magnetic pressure gradient forces. The power of wind in strongly magnetized case is just slightly larger than that in weakly magnetized case. The power of wind lies in a range $ P_W \sim 10^{-4}-10^{-3} \dot M_{\rm in} c^2 $, with $ \dot M_{\rm in} $ and $ c $ being mass inflow rate and speed of light, respectively. The possible role of wind in active galactic nuclei feedback is briefly discussed.
