28. A large-scale magnetic field in an accretion disk can arise in at least two ways: (1) Inherited from the progenitor of the disk. For example, the merger of a magnetized neutron star with a black hole will naturally lead to the formation of a disk with a large-scale magnetic field. (2) Generated from small-scale magnetic fields through reconnection. See, e.g., C. A. Tout and J. E. Pringle, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 281, 219 (1996).
