The radial structure of protostellar accretion disks: influence of jets
نویسنده
چکیده
Context. The radial structure of accretion disks is a fundamental issue regarding star and planet formation. Many theoretical studies, focussing on different aspects such as e.g. disk emissivity or ionization, have been conducted in the context of the Standard Accretion Disk (SAD) model, where no jet is present. Aims. We wish to calculate the structure of YSO accretion disks in an approach that takes into account the presence of the protostellar jets. The radial structure of these Jet Emitting Disks (JED) should then be compared to that of standard accretion disks. Methods. The analytical treatment used in this work is very similar to that of standard accretion disks but is using the parameter space of Magnetised Accretion-Ejection Structures that include the jet torque on the underlying disk. In this framework, the analytical expressions of key quantities, such as mid-plane temperatures, surface densities or disk aspect ratio are derived. Results. It is found that JEDs present a structure very different from the SADs and that can be observationally tested. The implications on planet formation in the inner regions of accretion disks are briefly discussed. We also supply sets of analytical formulae, valid in different opacity regimes, for the disk quantities. These expressions can be readily used for any work where the disk structure is needed as an input for the model.

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars
Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...
متن کاملThe Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows
In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...
متن کاملA Simplified Solution for Advection Dominated Accretion Flows with Outflow
The existence of outflow in the advection dominated accretion flows has been confirmed by both numerical simulations and observations. The outow models for ADAF have been investigated by several groups with a simple self similar solution. But this solution is inaccurate at the inner regions and can not explain the emitted spectrum of the flow; so, it is necessary to obtain a global solution for...
متن کاملCalculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...
متن کاملThe Physics of Star Formation : Understanding
We propose to bring the power of NGST to bear on one of the most important problems in star formation { understanding protostellar formation from parent molecular cores and subsequent evolution towards becoming young stars. A few extremely young (10 < < 10 yr) protostars have nally been discovered with sub-millimeter telescopes in recent years, but the high extinctions (Av > 400 mag) towards th...
