An analysis is presented of the hydrodynamic aspects of the growth of protostellar disks from the accretion (or collapse) of a rotating gas cloud. The size, mass, and radiative properties of protostellar disks are determined by the distribution of mass and angular momentum in the clouds from which they are formed, as well as from the dissipative processes within the disks themselves. The angular momentum of the infalling cloud is redistributed by the action of turbulent viscosity on a shear layer near the surface of the disk (downstream of the accretion shock) and on the radial shear across cylindrical surfaces parallel to the rotation axis. The fraction of gas that is fed into a central core (protostar) during accretion depends on the ratio of the rate of viscous diffusion of angular momentum to the accretion rate; rapid viscous diffusion (or a low accretion rate) promotes a large core-to-disk mass ratio. The continuum radiation spectrum of a highly viscous disk is similar to that of a steady-state accretion disk without mass addition. It is possible to construct models of the primitive solar nebula as an accretion disk, formed by the collapse of a slowly rotating protostellar cloud, and containing the minimum mass required to account for the planets. Other models with more massive disks are also possible. 相似文献

目前的星系形成理论认为，盘状星系由暗晕中的重子物质冷却并坍缩而成。在这一演化图像中，重子物质的角动量及其分布起着关键作用，它直接决定了盘状星系的结构。然而，在盘状星系形成和演化的各种解析、半解析模型及数值模拟中，出现了一系列与角动量有关的问题。其中包括角动量灾变(angular momentum catastrophe)及角动量分布不匹配(mismatch of angulamomentum profile)等。近年来，为解决此类问题，人们进行了大量的研究，引入并建立了各种机制和模型。详细表述了星系形成与演化中两类主要的角动量问题，并系统地综述了目前针对此类问题所提出的各种可能的解决方法和途径。 相似文献

A very significant problem in the modeling of disk-galaxy formation in the cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology is the so-called
`angular momentum problem'. This problem arises when we numerically model the collapse of baryons within a dark halo in the
CDM model. The formed baryonic disk has much less angular momentum than observed disk galaxies due to the considerable loss
of angular momentum during the progressive merger of small clumps. As a result of efficient radiative cooling, the gas component
collapses too deeply within the dark halo. When two such systems are merging, the angular momentum of the material near the
center is effectively transported outwards by the tidal force. This is a physical reason for this problem, however, there
may be a numerical origin due to the nature of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method widely used in galaxy formation
models. To address the numerical origin of the `angular momentum problem' with a much higher-resolution SPH model, we are
developing our Parallel Tree-SPH code. After evolving four initial models with different mass and force resolution, we compare
the angular momentum content of SPH particles. We find that both mass and force resolutions clearly affect the evolution of
radiative cosmological SPH models. In most previous radiative cosmological SPH models, a mass ratio between SPH and dark matter
particles is
.However, we find that this mass ratio is a crucial parameter when we consider the angular momentum content of SPH particles
and it is better to make the mass ratio ∼ 1.0 in such models.

When some magnetic field lines connect a Kerr black hole with a disk rotating around it, energy and angular momentum are transferred between them. If the black hole rotates faster than the disk, ca&solm0;GMH>0.36 for a thin Keplerian disk, then energy and angular momentum are extracted from the black hole and transferred to the disk (MH is the mass and aMH is the angular momentum of the black hole). This way, the energy originating in the black hole may be radiated away by the disk. The total amount of energy that can be extracted from the black hole spun down from ca&solm0;GMH=0.998 to ca&solm0;GMH=0.36 by a thin Keplerian disk is approximately 0.15MHc2. This is larger than approximately 0.09MHc2, which can be extracted by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. 相似文献

The gravitational collapse of molecular clouds or cloud cores is expected to lead to the formation of stars that begin their lives in a state of rapid rotation. It is known that, in at least some specific cases, rapidly rotating, slf-gravitating bodies are subject to instabilities that cause them to assume ellipsoidal shapes. In this paper we investigate the consequences of such instabilities on the angular momentum evolution of a star in the process of formation from a collapsing cloud, and surrounded by a protostellar disk, with a view toward applications to the formation of the Solar System. We use a specific model of star formation to demonstrate the possibility that such a star would become unstable, that the resulting distortion of the star would generate spiral density waves in the circumstellar disk, and that the torque associated with these waves would regulate the angular momentum of the star as it feeds angular momentum to the disk. We conclude that the angular momentum so transported to the disk would not spread the disk to, say, Solar System dimensions, by the action of the spiral density waves alone. However, a viscous disk could effectively extract stellar angular momentum and attain Solar System size. Our results also indicate that viscous disks could feed mass and angular momentum to a growing protostar in such a manner that distortions of the star would occur before gravitational torques could balance the influx of angular momentum. In other situations (in which the viscosity was small), a gap could be cleared between the disk and star. 相似文献

For accretion on to neutron stars possessing weak surface magnetic fields and substantial rotation rates (corresponding to
the secular instability limit), we calculate the disk and surface layer luminosities general relativistically using the Hartle
& Thorne formalism, and illustrate these quantities for a set of representative neutron star equations of state. We also discuss
the related problem of the angular momentum evolution of such neutron stars and give a quantitative estimate for this accretion
driven change in angular momentum. Rotation always increases the disk luminosity and reduces the rate of angular momentum
evolution. These effects have relevance for observations of low-mass X-ray binaries. 相似文献

We briefly review recent developments in black hole accretion disk theory, emphasizing the vital role played by magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) stresses in transporting angular momentum. The apparent universality of accretion-related outflow phenomena is a strong
indicator that large-scale MHD torques facilitate vertical transport of angular momentum. This leads to an enhanced overall
rate of angular momentum transport and allows accretion of matter to proceed at an interesting rate. Furthermore, we argue
that when vertical transport is important, the radial structure of the accretion disk is modified at small radii and this
affects the disk emission spectrum. We present a simple model demonstrating how energetic, magnetically-driven outflows modify
the emergent disk emission spectrum with respect to that predicted by standard accretion disk theory. A comparison of the
predicted spectra against observations of quasar spectral energy distributions suggests that mass accretion rates inferred
using the standard disk model may be severely underestimated. 相似文献

A study is made of axisymmetric, low sonic-Mach-number flows of a viscous fluid with angular momentum outside of a black-hole. The viscosity is an eddy viscosity due to turbulence in the sheared flows. Self-similar solutions arise naturally, reducing the Navier-Stokes equations to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved analytically for flows of constant specific angular momentum and numerically for more general flows. For flows with non-constant specific angular momentum, the momentum flux density includes a planar discontinuity which is interpreted as an accretion disc. In general, two flow regions appear on each side of the disk, corresponding to accretion onto the disk and jet-like outflows along the ±z-axes. Physical interpretations of the solutions show that these flows arise in response to point sources of axial momentum at the origin directed in the ±z-directions. The power needed to maintain this momentum input is assumed to come from the mass accretion onto the black hole.The hydrodynamic flows are generalized to include a magnetic field. In the limit of infinite electrical conductivity, the possible types of flow patterns are the same as in hydrodynamic case. The magnetic field alters the relative amounts of reversible and irreversible momentum and angular momentum transport by the flow. For a flow with turbulent viscosity, the magnetic field acts to reduce the level of the turbulence and the effective value of the eddy viscosity. 相似文献

Correlations between stellar kinematics and chemical abundances are fossil evidence for evolutionary connections between Galactic structural components. Extensive stellar surveys show that the only tolerably clear distinction between galactic components appears in the distributions of specific angular momentum. Here the stellar metal-poor halo and the metal-rich bulge are indistinguishable from each other, as are the thick disk and the old disk. Each pair is very distinct from the other. This leads to an evolutionary model in which the metal-poor stellar halo evolves into the inner bulge, while the thick disk is a precursor to the thin disk. These evolutionary sequences are distinct. The galaxy is made of two discrete 'populations', one of low and one of high angular momentum. Some (minor?) complexity is added to this picture by the debris of late and continuing mergers, which will be especially important in the outer stellar halo. 相似文献

The problem of angular-momentum and mass transport in the disk is discussed and the disk viscosity is estimated. The evolution of the gas-dust protoplanetary disk at the stage of its formation inside the protostellar (protosolar) accretion envelope is considered. The conditions for the radial growth of the disk are estimated. For the subsequent period, when the central star (young Sun) is in the T Tauri phase, the temporal variations of the radius, mass, and the surface density of the disk, as well as the total mass flux from the disk onto the star (Sun), i.e., the mass accretion rate, are evaluated. The constraints on the initial value of the angular momentum of the protoplanetary circumsolar disk (that is, on the angular momentum of the protosolar cloud) are discussed with due regard for cosmochemical data.Translated from Astronomicheskii Vestnik, Vol. 38, No. 6, 2004, pp. 559–576.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Makalkin. 相似文献

This work derives the linearized equations of motion, the Lagrangian density, the Hamiltonian density, and the canonical angular
momentum density for general perturbations [∝ exp (imφ) with m = 0, ± 1, ...] of a geometrically thin self-gravitating, homentropic fluid disk including the pressure. The theory is applied
to “eccentric,” m = ± 1 perturbations of a geometrically thin Keplerian disk. We find m = 1 modes at low frequencies relative to the Keplerian frequency. Further, it is shown that these modes can have negative
energy and negative angular momentum. The radial propagation of these low-frequency m = 1 modes can transport angular momentum away from the inner region of a disk and thus increase the rate of mass accretion.
Depending on the radial boundary conditions there can be discrete low-frequency, negative-energy, m = 1 modes. 相似文献

We calculate the amount of angular momentum that thermal photons carry out of a viscous black hole accretion disk, due to the strong Doppler shift imparted to them by the high orbital velocity of the radiating disk material. While thermal emission can not drive accretion on its own, we show that along with disk heating it does nonetheless result in a loss of specific angular momentum, thereby contributing to an otherwise viscosity‐driven accretion flow. In particular, we show that the fraction of the angular momentum that is lost to thermal emission at a radius r in a standard, multi‐color disk is ∼0.4rs/r, where rs is the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole. We briefly highlight the key similarties between this effect and the closely related Poynting‐Robertson effect (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

In the framework of thin, rigorous relativistic accretion disks the inner boundary behaviour is studied taking into cosideration the internal energy of the disk plasma. Consuming the internal energy stored in the accretion flow the disk forms a cusplike wall in the effective gravitational potential; the disk matter is raised on higher levels of the angular momentum by cooling simultaneously. This gravity induced cooling leads to a rigorous braking of the radial accretion flow. There is a steep, inner boundary with a very small gap very close at the orbit of last bound motion of test matter. Especially natural boundary conditions can be imposed in contrast to the boundary value problem in the divergent, relativistic standard models. 相似文献

We consider gravitational instability of the dust layer in the midplane of a protoplanetary disk with turbulence and shear stresses between the gas in the disk and that in the dust layer. We solve a linearized system of hydrodynamic equations for perturbations of dust (monodisperse) and gas phases in the incompressible gas approximation. We take into account the gas drag of solid particles (dust aggregates), turbulent diffusion and the velocity dispersion of particles, and the perturbation of the azimuthal velocity of gas in the layer upon the transfer of angular momentum from solid particles to it and from this gas to the surrounding gas in the disk. We obtain and solve the dispersion equation for the layer with the ratio of surface densities of the dust phase and gas being well above unity. The following parameters of gravitational instability in the dust layer are calculated: the critical surface density of solid matter and the Stokes number of particles corresponding to the onset of instability, the wavelength range in which instability occurs, and the rate of its growth as a function of the perturbation wavelength in the circumsolar disk at radial distances of 1 and 10 AU. We show that at 10 AU, the maximum instability growth rate increases due to the transfer of angular momentum of gas in the layer to gas outside it, a new maximum emerges at a longer wavelength, a long-wavelength instability “tail” forms, and the critical surface density initiating instability decreases relative to that determined without the transfer of angular momentum to gas outside the layer. None of these effects are observed at 1 AU, since instability in this region probably develops faster than the transfer of angular momentum to the surrounding gаs of a protoplanetary disk occurs. 相似文献

We reexamine arguments advanced by Hayashi & Matsuda (2001), who claim that several simple, physically motivated derivations
based on mean free path theory for calculating the viscous torque in a quasi-Keplerian accretion disk yield results that are
inconsistent with the generally accepted model. If correct, the ideas proposed by Hayashi & Matsuda would radically alter
our understanding of the nature of the angular momentum transport in the disk, which is a central feature of accretion disk
theory. However, in this paper we point out several fallacies in their arguments and show that there indeed exists a simple
derivation based on mean free path theory that yields an expression for the viscous torque that is proportional to the radial
derivative of the angular velocity in the accretion disk, as expected. The derivation is based on the analysis of the epicyclic
motion of gas parcels in adjacent eddies in the disk. 相似文献

The jets observed to emanate from many compact accreting objects may arise from the twisting of a magnetic field threading
a differentially rotating accretion disk which acts to magnetically extract angular momentum and energy from the disk. Two
main regimes have been discussed, hydromagnetic jets, which have a significant mass flux and have energy and angular momentum
carried by both matter and electromagnetic field and, Poynting jets, where the mass flux is small and energy and angular momentum
are carried predominantly by the electromagnetic field. Here, we describe recent theoretical work on the formation of relativistic
Poynting jets from magnetized accretion disks. Further, we describe new relativistic, fully electromagnetic, particle-in-cell
(PIC) simulations of the formation of jets from accretion disks. Analog Z-pinch experiments may help to understand the origin
of astrophysical jets. 相似文献

During past years high angular (<1″) resolution imaging has provided useful information about the propagation of “real” jets. Recently, in addition, the spectrograph Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has finally allowed us to test the magneto-centrifugal paradigm for the jet launching. I present results from HST/STIS spectra at 0.″1 resolution of small-scale jets from T Tauri stars in their initial 140 AU (1″). The jet morphology, kinematics and excitation in different velocity intervals are derived, from which we calculate mass and momentum fluxes. Even more interestingly, we find indications for rotation around the symmetry axis in the peripheral regions of the flow. The investigated component of the wind appears to originate in the disk at a distance of 0.5-2 AU from the star, and it extracts at least 60% of the inner disk angular momentum. These results confirm for the first time the validity of the magneto-centrifugal approach for the jet launching, and constitute a benchmark to test models and simulations. In the near future, near-infrared (NIR) interferometry with AMBER/VLTI and with the LBTI will permit to observe the jet engine down to 0.1 AU from the source, where the acceleration of the jet takes place. 相似文献

The stability of the innermost disk region orbiting a Kerr black hole is investigated for geometrically thin accretion disks. The infalling matter transports mass and angular momentum into the Kerr hole. This affects the inner disk boundary and leads to runaway instabilities in some cases. 相似文献

In this paper we review the possibilities for
magnetohydrodynamic processes to handle the angular momentum transport
in accretion disks. Traditionally the angular momentum transport has
been considered to be the result of turbulent viscosity in the disk,
although the Keplerian flow in accretion disks is linearly stable towards
hydrodynamic perturbations. It is on the other hand linearly unstable
to some magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities.
The most important instabilities are the Parker and Balbus-Hawley
instabilities that are related to the magnetic buoyancy and the shear
flow, respectively. We discuss these instabilities not only in the
traditional MHD framework, but also in the context of slender flux
tubes, that reduce the complexity of the problem while keeping most of
the stability properties of the complete problem. In the non-linear
regime the instabilities produce turbulence. Recent numerical
simulations describe the generation of magnetic fields by a dynamo in
the resulting turbulent flow. Eventually such a dynamo may generate a
global magnetic field in the disk. The relation of the MHD-turbulence
to observations of accretion disks is still obscure. It is commonly
believed that magnetic fields can be highly efficient in transporting
the angular momentum, but emission lines, short-time scale variability
and non-thermal radiation, which a stellar astronomer would take as
signs of magnetic variability, are more commonly observed during periods
of low accretion rates.
