Radio and X-ray observations of radio lobes in galaxy clusters indicate large energies stored in the magnetic fields in the radio lobes. These magnetic fields are undoubtedly produced and amplified by the accretion onto the central supermassive black hole. I review recent progress and remaining problems in our understanding of the ways how these magnetic fields can be produced and amplified in the accretion disks and what can be the limiting strength of the magnetic field. The major remaining issue is how ordered magnetic spirals (or jets) can emerge from the turbulent small scale magnetic fields produced by MRI. Another issue is the ratio of the axial to the azimuthal magnetic field in jets.

The BINSYN program package, recently expanded to calculate synthetic spectra of cataclysmic variables, is being further extended to include synthetic photometry of ordinary binary stars in addition to binary stars with optically thick accretion disks. The package includes a capability for differentials correction optimization of eclipsing binary systems using synthetic photometry.

Previous numerical simulations on planet-disk interactions revealed a lot of interesting phenomena including the planetary migration and the formation of many sub-structures inside the disks. However, these simulations were limited to an isothermal or adiabatic equation of state which does not account for various heating and cooling processes in the disks. Recent studies showed that the behavior of the planet-disk interaction can be significantly influenced by the disk thermodynamics. We develop a radiative diffusion module based on the two-temperature flux-limited diffusion approximation accounting for viscous heating and the accretion feedback. In this presentation, we describe our radiative diffusion solver, present some test results, and discuss potential applications of the module to planet-disk interactions,

We study a wraping instability of a geometrically thin, non-self-gravitating disk surrounding binary supermassive black holes on a circular orbit. Such a circumbinay disk is subject to not only tidal torques due Line 8 to the binary gravitational potential but also radiative rorques due to radiation emitted from each accretion disk. We find tat a circumbinary disk initially aligned with the binary orbital plane is unstable to radiation-driven warping beyond the marginally stable warping radius, which is sensitive to both the ratio of vertical to horizontal shear viscosities and the mass-to-energy conversion efficiency. As expected, the tidal torques give no contribution to the growth of warping modes but tend to align the circumbinary disk with the orbital plane. Since the tidal torques can suppress the warping modes in the inner part of circumbinary disk, the circumbinaary disk starts to be warped at the radii larger than the marginally stable warping radius. If the warping radius is of the order of 0.1 pc, a resultant semi-major axis is estimated to be of the order of 10-2 pc to 10-4 pc for 107 Msun black hole. We also discuss the posibility that the central objects of observed warped maser disks in active galactic nuclei are binary supermassive black holes with a triple disk: two accretion disks around the individual black holes and one circumbinary disk surrounding them.

The symbiotic star V1016 Cygni, a detached binary system consisting of a hot white dwarf and a mass-losing Mira variable, shows very broad emission features at around 6825 Å and 7082 Å, which are Raman scattered O vi λλ 1032, 1038 by atomic hydrogen. In the high resolution spectrum of V1016 Cyg obtained with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph these broad features exhibit double peak profiles with the red peak stronger than the blue counterpart. However, their profiles differ in such a way that the blue peak of the 7082 feature is relatively weaker than the 6825 counterpart when the two Raman features are normalized to exhibit an equal red peak strength in the Doppler factor space. Assuming that an accretion flow around the white dwarf is responsible for the double peak profiles, we attribute this disparity in the profiles to the local variation of the flux ratio of O vi λλ 1032, 1038 in the accretion flow. A Monte Carlo technique is adopted to provide emissivity maps showing the local emissivity of O vi λ1032 and O vi λ1038 in the vicinity of the white dwarf. We also present a map indicating the differing flux ratios of O vi λλ 1032 and 1038. Our result shows that the flux ratio reaches its maximum of 2 in the emission region responsible for the central trough of the Raman feature and that the flux ratio in the inner red emission region is almost 1. The blue emission region and the outer red emission region exhibit an intermediate ratio around 1.5. We conclude that the disparity in the profiles of the two Raman O vi features strongly implies accretion flow around the white dwarf, which is azimuthally asymmetric.

I present here one approach to general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics. It is based on covariant tensor conservation equations and considers only the frequency-integrated total energy and momentum exchange between matter and the radiation field. It is also a mixed-frame formalism in the sense that, the interaction between radiation and matter is described with quantities in the comoving frame in which the interaction is often symmetric in angle while the radiation energy and momentum equations are expressed in the fixed frame quantities in which the derivatives are simpler. Hence, this approach is intuitive enough to be applied straightforwardly to any spacetime or coordinate. A few examples are provided along with caveats in this formalism.

We observed 10 Class I sources as part of the IGRINS (Immersion GRating INfrared Spectroscoph) Legacy Program, "IGRINS Survey of Protoplanetary Disks (PI: Jeong-Eun Lee)". Unlike other Class I sources, IRAS 16316-1540 shows broad absorption features in the near-infrared spectra (H and K bands). The broadened absorption features have been detected toward FU Orionis-type objects. Boxy or double-peaked absorption profiles can be produced by a Keplerian disk that has the hot mid-plane heated by a burst mass accretion. We could fit the broad absorption features of IRAS 16316-1540 with a K5 V template stellar spectrum convolved with a disk rotation profile of 45 km s-1. Therefore, rotationally broadened absorption features detected in this Class I source suggest that the episodic accretion process occurs from the early stage of star formation.

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.

The jet production efficiency of radio galaxies can be quantified by comparison of their kinetic jet powers $P_{jet}$ and Bondi accretion powers $P_B$. These two parameters are known to be related linearly, with the jet power resulting from the Bondi power by multiplication with an efficiency factor of order 1%. Using a recently published (Nemmen & Tchekhovskoy 2014) high-quality sample of 27 radio galaxies, I construct a $P_B$ - $P_{jet}$ diagram that includes information on optical AGN types as far as available. This diagram indicates that the jet production efficiency is a function of AGN type: Seyfert 2 galaxies seem to be systematically (with a false alarm probability of $4.3{\times}10^{-4}$) less efficient, by about one order of magnitude, in powering jets than Seyfert 1 galaxies, LINERs, or the remaining radio galaxies. This suggests an evolutionary sequence from Sy 2s to Sy 1s and LINERs, controlled by an interplay of jets on the one hand and dust and gas in galactic nuclei on the other hand. When taking this effect into account, the $P_B$ - $P_{jet}$ relation is probably much tighter intrinsically than currently assumed.

For the development of magneto rotational instability, which drives mass accretion in protoplanetary disks, sufficient ionization degree is needed. Cosmic rays are believed to be one of the dominant ionization sources for protoplanetary disk gas. In previous studies, ionization rates are computed by considering the effect of attenuation of the cosmic ray (CR) intensity as a function of column density in an unmagnetized cloud. However, in reality particles should sweep up larger column density to reach at the midplane of disk due to their gyromotion. In this study, we investigate the propagation of CR protons in a protoplanetary disk by solving transport and energy loss equations. We discuss the change in CR intensity due to magnetic field in a protoplanetary disk.
