关于吸积盘粘性的物理本质

On the physical nature of accretion disc viscosity

R. G. Martin, C. J. Nixon, J. E. Pringle, M. Livio

摘要:

我们使用完善的观测证据得出结论的基本性质的粘度吸积盘。为此,我们首先总结了由Shakura和Sunyaev(1973,1976)定义的无量纲吸积盘粘性参数$α$值的观测证据。我们发现,对于完全电离光盘,$α$的值是很容易服从可靠的估计和观察是一致的假设,$α\sim 0.2 - 0.3$。相反,在未完全电离的椎间盘中,$α$值的估计通常不太直接,获得的值通常为$ < 0.01$,通常为$ \ll 0.01$。我们的结论是,这给了我们至关重要的信息的性质粘度吸积盘。首先,在完全电离的圆盘中,湍流的强度总是受到最多跨音速的限制。这意味着,有必要让可信的湍流模型反映这一事实。第二,较小的值的$α$发现较少的电离,因此不太强的传导,光盘意味着磁性起着主导作用。这为磁旋转不稳定性(MRI)驱动的磁流体湍流的概念提供了重要的观测支持。

英文摘要:

We use well-established observational evidence to draw conclusions about the fundamental nature of the viscosity in accretion discs. To do this, we first summarise the observational evidence for the value of the dimensionless accretion disc viscosity parameter $α$, defined by Shakura & Sunyaev (1973, 1976). We find that, for fully ionized discs, the value of $α$ is readily amenable to reliable estimation and that the observations are consistent with the hypothesis that $α\sim 0.2 - 0.3$. In contrast in discs that are not fully ionized, estimates of the value of $α$ are generally less direct and the values obtained are generally $ < 0.01$ and often $ \ll 0.01$. We conclude that this gives us crucial information about the nature of viscosity in accretion discs. First, in fully ionized discs the strength of the turbulence is always limited by being at most trans-sonic. This implies that it is necessary that credible models of the turbulence reflect this fact. Second, the smaller values of $α$ found for less ionized, and therefore less strongly conducting, discs imply that magnetism plays a dominant role. This provides important observational support for the concept of magneto-rotational instability (MRI) driven hydromagnetic turbulence.
