Journal ArticleDOI
Sound-wave instabilities in dilute plasmas with cosmic rays: implications for cosmic ray confinement and the Perseus X-ray ripples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a linear stability analysis of weakly collisional plasmas with cosmic rays using Braginskii MHD for the thermal gas and found that this dependence introduces a phase shift between the CR-pressure and gas-density fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraining the Accretion Rate Onto Sagittarius A* Using Linear Polarization
Eliot Quataert,Andrei Gruzinov +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the linear polarization of synchrotron radiation to distinguish the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy from other low-luminosity galactic nuclei.
Advection-Dominated Accretion around Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, the physics of advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) and their applications to several black hole X-ray binaries and galactic nuclei are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear Vlasov theory in the shearing sheet approximation with application to the magneto-rotational instability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the conductivity tensor for axisymmetric perturbations of a hot, collisionless, and charge-neutral plasma in the shearing sheet approximation.

Astrophysical Evidence for Black Hole Event Horizons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the evidence that, at low luminosities, accreting black holes in both X-ray binaries and galactic nuclei contain ADAFs rather than the standard thin accretion disk.
