We develop a novel method to simultaneously determine the vertical potential, force and stellar $z-v_z$ phase space distribution function (DF) in our local patch of the Galaxy. We assume that the Solar Neighborhood can be treated as a…

Galactic disks are highly responsive systems that often undergo external perturbations and subsequent collisionless equilibration, predominantly via phase-mixing. We use linear perturbation theory to study the response of infinite…

Gaia data have revealed vertically asymmetric phase-space structures in the Milky Way (MW) disc, such as phase spirals, indicating vertical oscillations. These oscillations exhibit two distinct modes: the bending mode and the breathing…

We study the stability of gaps opened by a giant planet in a self-gravitating protoplanetary disc. We find a linear instability associated with both the self-gravity of the disc and local vortensity maxima which coincide with gap edges. For…

The vertical phase-space spirals in the Milky Way are clear evidence of disequilibrium. However, they are challenging to study because phase mixing signals evolve under the influence of many different dynamical processes and can be driven…

The Gaia satellite revealed a remarkable spiral pattern ('phase spiral', PS) in the z-Vz phase-plane throughout the solar neighbourhood, where z and Vz are the displacement and velocity of a star perpendicular to the Galactic plane. As…

The interaction of multiple fluids through a heterogeneous pore space leads to complex pore-scale flow dynamics, such as intermittent pathway flow. The non-local nature of these dynamics, and the size of the 4D datasets acquired to capture…

The energy and momentum feedback from young stars has a profound impact on the interstellar medium (ISM), including heating and driving turbulence in the neutral gas that fuels future star formation. Recent theory has argued that this leads…
