Magnetic fields in ADs

Magnetic fields in ADs. Magnetic “flux tube”. Mag field characteristics. Magnetic loops rise out of the plane of the disk at any angle – the global field geometry is “tangled” The field lines confine and carry plasma across the disk

  1. Magnetic fields in ADs Magnetic “flux tube”

  2. Mag field characteristics • Magnetic loops rise out of the plane of the disk at any angle – the global field geometry is “tangled” • The field lines confine and carry plasma across the disk • Reconnection and snapping of the loops releases energy into the disk atmosphere – mostly in X-rays • The magnetic field also transfers angular momentum out of the disk system
