Can I read Particle Heating in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows on EtoBox?

Particle Heating in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows by Quataert, Eliot is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Particle Heating in Advection-Dominated Accretion Flows about?

I review particle heating by MHD turbulence in collisionless plasmas appropriate to advection-dominated accretion flows. These considerations suggest that the preferential turbulent heating of protons assumed by theoretical models is only achieved for relatively subthermal magnetic fields.
