The observed optical luminosity in 5100 angstorm and black hole mass correlation is used to probe the magnetic field of black holes harbored in active galactic nuclei(AGNs). The model is based on the assumption that the disk is heated by…

In this paper, we show a "proof of concept" of the heating mechanism of the solar chromosphere due to wave dissipation caused by the effects of partial ionization. Numerical modeling of non-linear wave propagation in a magnetic flux tube,…

We develop an analytical model to follow the cosmological evolution of magnetic fields in disk galaxies. Our assumption is that fields are amplified from a small seed field via magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence. We further assume that…

We examine 1D two-temperature accretion flows around a supermassive black hole, adopting the specific angular momentum \lambda, the total specific energy \epsilon and the input accretion rate \dot M_{input} = 4.0x10^{-6} solar mass/yr…

Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbulent motions \cite{zweibel1997, Vacca}. In the cluster…

After the initial stage of fast expanding of the hot Universe comes epoch of temperature fall and subsequent formation of dense clouds of hydrogen. Due to process of accretion some of this clouds became compact objects. Initially accretion…

Based on the rate of expansion of the solar wind, the plasma should cool rapidly as a function of distance to the Sun. Observations show this is not the case. In this work, a magnetic pumping model is developed as a possible explanation for…
