A Model for a Thin Magnetised Disc in LMC X-3
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
A model for the stationary radial distribution of the magnetic energy-stress tensor <BB> in a standard thin disc is presented, with allowance for magnetic torques and dissipation, see Fig. 1. The model is an extension of earlier work by Schramkowski et al. (1996). For LMC X-3, <B2>1/2 reaches ~ 4 × 105 G near the inner edge of the disc, and the magnetic pressure is much smaller than the sum of gas and radiation pressure.
