The gravitational instabilities are important to the evolution of the disks and the planet formation in the disks. We calculate the evolution of the disks which form from the collapse of the molecular cloud cores. By changing the properties…
The solar tachocline is shown as hydrodynamically stable against nonaxisymmetric disturbances if it is true that no cos^{4}\theta term exists in its rotation law. We also show that the toroidal field of 200 Gauss amplitude which produces…
