Local stability of self-gravitating disks in $f(R)$ gravity

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2015-06-11 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

In the framework of metric f(R)f(R) gravity, we find the dispersion relation for the propagation of tightly wound spiral density waves in the surface of rotating, self-gravitating disks. Also, new Toomre-like stability criteria for differentially rotating disks has been derived for both fluid and stellar disks.
