Magnetized Bondi Accretion: Here's What it Is and How We Used It

Accretion flows in galactic nuclei involve magnetized plasma, and it has been long known that magnetic fields strongly perturb the energetics (Shvartsman 1971; Meszaros 1975) and dynamics (Igumenshchev & Narayan 2002; Pen et al. 2003; Lalakos et al. 2022) of Bondi accretion.
