Executive Summary
Researchers from MIT, UC San Diego, and Chalmers University of Technology present analytic solutions for three-dimensional magnetized and rotating hot plasma equilibria in a gravitational field. The 2015 paper demonstrates that a toroidal magnetic field is essential for maintaining equilibrium in astrophysical applications like accretion disks. These findings are intended to enhance global simulations of magneto-rotational stability and the mechanisms of mass accretion around black holes.
