초록

Standard thin disk theory predicts that an inner disk region dominated by radiation pressure is thermally unstable. However, this kind of instability isn't detected in the observations of X-ray binaries. In this work, we revisit this issue by investigating the stability of a thin disk with magnetically driven winds. It is found that the disk winds can help to make a thin disk stable by taking away most of the energy released in the disk, resulting in a much cooler disk. The disk can always be stable even for a very weak initial field strength ${\beta}_{p,0}{\leq}400$ when ${\alpha}=0.05$ and $B{\phi}=10B_p$ are adopted.
