Accretion disk systems

β€’ Accretion disks systems are believed to be very common structures in the Universe

β€’ These systems are associated to:β€’ Black Hole Binaries (BHBs)

β€’ Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs)

β€’ Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) and so protoplanetary disks

β€’ The formation of a turbulent corona above and below accretion disks plays an important role in magnetic reconnection events

β€’ These events could explain the flare emissions in X-ray (YSOs) and in radio and gamma-ray (BHBs and AGNs)

Conclusions

β€’ Our simulations have revealed the arising of magnetic loops due to the PRTI followed by the development of turbulence due to PRTI and MRI

β€’ Even with an initial high magnetized regime, the disk evolves to a gas-pressure dominant regime with a magnetized coronaβ€’ Transport of magnetic field from the disk to the corona by buoyance process

β€’ We have evaluated the magnetic reconnection rates and detected the presence of fast magnetic reconnection events, as predicted by the theory of turbulence-induced fast reconnection (Lazarian & Vishiniac, 1999)

β€’ The algorithm applied to this work has demonstrated to be an efficient tool for the identification of magnetic reconnection sites in numerical simulations
