Forces and torques exerted on dielectric disks trapped in a Gaussian standing wave are analyzed theoretically for disks of radius $2~\mu\text{m}$ with index of refraction $n=1.45$ and $n=2.0$ as well as disks of radius 200 nm with $n=1.45$.…

The problem of how some disk galaxies avoid forming bars remains unsolved. Many galaxy models having reasonable properties continue to manifest vigorous instabilities that rapidly form strong bars and no widely-accepted idea has yet been…

We consider the situation where a spin-induced wavy perturbation is present on disks of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. By non-linearly coupling with the perturbation, some modes of disk oscillations resonantly interact with the…
