the most exotic physics of the universe:

A Massive Black Hole, A Keplerian accretion disk, An ??? Dynamo, Helical Magnetic Jets, Radio Lobes, Cosmic Rays and A Magnetized Universe. Stirling Colgate, Hui Li, Philipp Kronberg, Nathan Currrier, LANL; Vladimir Pariev, U. Wis.; . . I believe that all these phenomena are tightly connected by a sequence of physical phenomena. Each one is critical, but perhaps only partially understood..

Presentation Transcript

    1. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets The Most Exotic Physics of the Universe: Bright matter and Bright energy. The largest Free Energy of the Universe. Almost all the Baryons of the Universe. Physics at the event horizon (GR). The most energetic matter, (CRs). Non relativistic, relativistic, and magneto-hydrodynamics. Particles, fields, and ultimately: Information. The Ultimate Physics Sandbox

    3. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets Close to the MBH, where Mass (MBH) > Mass (disk,<r) must be Keplerian, i.e., with large differential rotation and thin, H~10-4 r. Possibly a thick, ADAF disk, r~< 10 rg . 2) A Keplerian disk allows the possibility of two instabilities: semi-coherent, 2-D transport of both angular momentum and poloidal magnetic flux by 2-D, semi-coherent vortices, the RVI instability. This transport, radially, is faster than (3-D) turbulence by the ratio ~ (r/H) ~ 104. (B) An ??? dynamo creates an exponential in time, coherent, poloidal and toroidal magnetic flux, which grows to a back-reaction limit. The starting point: A thin, flat rotation curve (FRC, M~r) proto-galactic disk forms with a central black hole.

    4. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets The best calculation of a Rossby vortex unstable disk, Li et al.2001

    5. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets Weather vortices, Rossby waves in earths atmosphere: our local accretion disk: wave length > 100 H, H = atmosphere scale height ~10 km. Radial pressure gradient makes RVI transport of atmospheric angular momentum.

    6. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets Radio lobes must be magnetic and with a very large magnetic flux. There must be a dynamo.

    7. Colgate, LANL, Alba, Jets X-rays (polarized), collimation: r/L ~10-3;The jets feed the lobes with small loss.X-rays must be magnetic synchrotron emission; min E: B=104 G, ? =104. Lobes: B=10-4 G, ? =104.
