An accretion scenario in which the material captured by a black hole from its environment is assumed to be magnetized (\beta ~ 1) is discussed. We show that the accretion picture in this case is strongly affected by the magnetic field of…

The magnetic fields of accretion disks play an important role in studying their evolution. We may assume that its generation is connected to the dynamo mechanism, which is similar with that in the galactic disks. Here, we propose a model of…
