  14. Magnetic Fields

  15. Les Champs Magnétiques (1920) was the founding text of the surrealist corpus. Its authors proposed to explore an uninterrupted form of language, sensing that thought unobstructed by reason in stream-of- consciousness ends up revealing what really wants to be expressed through a kind of magneticrelationship among the different creative connections of the imagination.

  16. ElectromagneticEnergy Extraction from an Accretion Disk • Pulsar analogy (“unipolar inductor”) • A model for extragalactic and galactic jets (Sco X-1) • Also efficient extraction of disk angular momentum

  17. Electromagnetic Energy Extraction from a RotatingBlack Hole Blandford & Znajek 1977 Komissarov 2005 • Magnetic field threading the black hole’s ergosphere is supported by the accretion disk

  18. Hydromagnetic Energy Extraction from an Accretion Disk

  19. “Bead on a rotating wire” mechanical analogy (Henriksen & Rayburn 1971) • “Radial self-similarity” formulation (Bardeen & Berger 1978)

  20. Retrieved 200 abstracts, starting with number 1. Total number selected: 564. Total normalized citations: 8998 1 1982MNRAS.199..883 671.000 06/1982 Blandford, R. D.; Payne, D. G. Hydromagnetic flows from accretion discs and the production of radio jets On the way to the top there were moments of self-doubt….

  21. Any lingering doubts are dispelled by numerical simulations… (?) Krasnopolsky, Li Anderson, Li, Krasnopolsky & Blandford (1999) & Blandford (2006)

  26. Astrophysical Applications: Protostellar Jets and AGN Unification Safier (1993) Königl & Kartje (1994) • Wind density is highly stratified in the vertical direction • Wind typically uplifts grains from dusty disk regions

  27. The Accretion-Outflow Connection:Protostellar Wind/Disk Models • Steady-state models incorporate magnetic diffusivity in the disk (Königl 1989; Wardle & Königl 1993; Li 1996; Ferreira 1997;…)

  28. Wardle & Königl (1993) • Double-branch nature of equilibrium curves has implications to stability (Königl 2004)

  29. Generelization to Other Magnetic Diffusivity Domains • In a magnetized, weakly ionized gas the conductivity is a tensor incorporating the ambipolar, Hall, and Ohm diffusivities

  30. Königl, Salmeron & Wardle (2009)

  31. Resistive-MHD Numerical Simulations Casse & Keppens (2002) • Confirm basic properties and indicate stability

  32. In Conclusion: Thank you, Roger, and ManyHappyReturns!
