Magnetized Cirumnuclear Disk

This is the first simulation of the Circumnuclear Disk with magnetic fields. It includes an initial torodial field configuration with a constant field strength of 1 mG. The first animation shows the mass density, it looks more or less the same than the simulations without mgnetic fields. The next two animations show edge-on and face-on views of the magnetic energy density with fieldlines in black. The edge-on view shows a number of magnetic loops that are created and carried outwards, furthermore the central outflow seems to change the magnetic field in the center from a torodial to a vertical configuration. In the face-on animation the magnetic field maintains more or less its torodial configuration, but later the magnetic field seems to vanish from the inner region.
