In dilute astrophysical plasmas, the collisional mean free path of a particle can exceed its Larmor radius. Under these conditions, the thermal conductivity and viscosity of the plasma can be dramatically altered. This alteration allows…

We present results from the first 3D kinetic numerical simulation of magnetorotational turbulence and dynamo, using the local shearing-box model of a collisionless accretion disc. The kinetic magnetorotational instability grows from a…

The physical mechanism responsible for driving accretion flows in astrophysical accretion disks is commonly thought to be related to the development of plasma instabilities and turbulence. A key question is therefore the determination of…

We investigate the stability of partially ionised, differentially rotating, diffusive disc threaded by both azimuthal and vertical magnetic field. The general stability criterion of such a disc in the presence of axisymmetric fluctuations…

We model gas inflow patterns onto circumstellar disks and the evolution of the pseudodisk using three-dimensional resistive MHD simulations. Starting from a prestellar core without turbulence and with a misalignment between the initial…

We study the cascading of fast MHD modes in magnetically dominated plasma by performing one-dimensional (1D) dynamical simulations. We find that the cascading becomes more efficient as an angle between wave vector and underlying magnetic…

In this paper, we analyze the linear stability of a stellar accretion disk, having a stratified morphology. The study is performed in the framework of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics and therefore it results in a characterization of the linear…

A linear stability analysis of ionized discs with a temperature gradient and an external axial magnetic field is presented. It is shown that both hydromagnetic and thermomagnetic effects can lead to the amplification of waves and make discs…

Intercluster medium is expected to be turbulent with turbulence being superAlfvenic at large scales. Magnetic fields substantially modify the turbulent cascade when the turbulence reaches the scales at which the fluctuation velocity gets…

The evolution of Alfven turbulence due to three-wave interactions is discussed using kinetic theory for a collisionless, thermal plasma. There are three low-frequency modes, analogous to the three modes of compressible MHD. When only Alfven…

The evolution of current sheets in accretion flows undergoing magnetorotational instability (MRI) is examined through two and three dimensional numerical modelling of the resistive MHD equations in global cylindrical geometry. With an…

In a recent paper [Y. Taroyan, Phys. Rev. Lett 101, 245001 (2008) it is claimed that a new MHD instability of the Alfven wave has been found: incompressible Alfven modes propagating in a compressible spatially varying flow were apparently…

We use local numerical simulations to investigate the strength and nature of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks, where ambipolar diffusion is the dominant non-ideal MHD effect. The simulations…

We carried out three-dimensional global resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the cooling instability in optically thin hot black hole accretion flows by assuming bremsstrahlung cooling. General relativistic effects are…

We consider effects of the MHD turbulence on the viscosity during the evolution of the thermal-viscous ionization instability in the standard $\alpha$-accretion disks. We consider the possibility that the accretion onto a supermassive black…

Analytic treatment is presented of the electrostatic instability of an initially planar electron hole in a plasma of effectively infinite particle magnetization. It is shown that there is an unstable mode consisting of a rigid shift of the…

The most efficient energy sources known in the Universe are accretion disks. Those around black holes convert 5 -- 40 per cent of rest-mass energy to radiation. Like water circling a drain, inflowing mass must lose angular momentum,…

The generation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and their instabilities are studied in galactic gaseous rotating plasmas with the effects of the magnetic field, the self gravity, the diffusion-convection of cosmic rays as well as the gas…

We present self-similar models of resistive viscous Keplerian disks driving non-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) jets becoming super fast-magnetosonic. We show that in order to obtain such solutions, the thermal pressure must be a…

We consider the scenario of a magnetic field orthogonal to a front separating two media of different temperatures and densities, such as cold and warm interstellar gas, in a 2-D plane-parallel geometry. A linear stability analysis is…
