    Magnetic tensions can control the dynamics of accretion disks

    Magnetic tensions are likely to be the dominant shear force in accretion disks, larger when integrated than turbulent viscosity by an order of magnitude or more. In galactic disks, they guarantee the mass-accr...

    Re-analysis of close binary systems

    Line-forming regions around close binaries with strong winds ( \(\dot M\) /4πr * v ≳10−4 g cm−2) are large in extent...

    Astrophysical boosters

    Constraints are derived on the acceleration of charges in shocks to highly relativistic energies. When applied to the extended extragalactic radio sources and to the cosmic rays, they cast doubt on the mechani...

    Twin-jets from the centres of galaxies

    Conceivably, the centres of all massive galaxies emit continuous antipodal beams of relativistic particles. We shall argue that these beams consist of highly relativistic electrons and positrons. At formation,...
