Radial orbit instability as a dissipation-induced phenomenon

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2010-12-01 v2

Abstract

This paper is devoted to Radial Orbit Instability in the context of self-gravitating dynamical systems. We present this instability in the new frame of Dissipation-Induced Instability theory. This allows us to obtain a rather simple proof based on energetics arguments and to clarify the associated physical mechanism.
