We compute the radiation emitted by a particle on the innermost stable circular orbit of a rapidly spinning black hole both (a) analytically, working to leading order in the deviation from extremality and (b) numerically, with a new…
A massive vector boson field in the vicinity of a rotating black hole is known to suffer an instability, due to the exponential amplification of (co-rotating, low-frequency) bound states by black hole superradiance. Here we calculate the…
It has been known classically that a star with an ergoregion but no event horizon is unstable to the emission of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational waves. This classical ergoregion instability is characterized by complex frequency…
We examine the modes admitted by the Mestel disk, a disk with a globally flat rotation curve. In contrast to previous analyses of this problem by Zang (\cite{1976PhDT........26Z}) and Evans & Read (\cite{1998MNRAS.300...83E},…

A linear stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations with respect to the homogeneous cooling state is carried out to identify the conditions for stability as functions of the wave vector, the dissipation, and the density. In contrast…
