Accretion disks can be eccentric: they support $m=1$ modes that are global and slowly precessing. But whether the modes remain trapped in the disk---and hence are long-lived---depends on conditions at the outer edge of the disk. Here we…
We present stellar dynamical models of the lopsided, double-peaked nucleus of M31, derived from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry. A Schwarzscild-type method, in conjunction with Richardson-Lucy deconvolution, was employed to…
It is shown that pure exponential discs in spiral galaxies are capable of supporting slowly varying discrete global lopsided modes, which can explain the observed features of lopsidedness in the stellar discs. Using linearized fluid…
Hydrodynamical simulations show that circumbinary disks become eccentric, even when the binary is circular. Here we demonstrate that, in steady state, the disk's eccentricity behaves as a long-lived free mode trapped by turning points that…
A significant fraction of nearby late-type galaxies are lopsided. We study the asymmetry of the stellar component in a sample of well-resolved disky galaxies selected from the last snapshot of the Illustris TNG100 simulation based on their…
Accretion disks around stars, or other central massive bodies, can support long-lived, slowly precessing $m=1$ disturbances in which the fluid motion is nearly Keplerian with non-zero eccentricity. We study such `slow modes' in disks that…
Eccentric cavities in circumbinary disks precess on timescales much longer than the binary orbital period. These long-lived steady states can be understood as trapped modes in an effective potential primarily determined by the binary…
We investigate the growth or decay rate of the fundamental mode of even symmetry in a viscous accretion disc. This mode occurs in eccentric discs and is known to be potentially overstable. We determine the vertical structure of the disc and…
Disks of low-mass bodies on high-eccentricity orbits in near-Keplerian potentials can be dynamically unstable to buckling out of the plane. In this letter, we present $N$-body simulations of the long-term behavior of such a system, finding…
Context. Particle trapping in local or global pressure maxima in protoplanetary disks is one of the new paradigms in the theory of the first stages of planet formation. However, finding observational evidence for this effect is not easy.…
Lopsidedness is common in spiral galaxies. Often, there is no obvious external cause, such as an interaction with a nearby galaxy, for such features. Alternatively, the lopsidedness may have an internal cause, such as a dynamical…
In order to be in a long-lived configuration, the density in a fluid disk should be constant along streamlines to prevent compressional (PdV) work from being done cyclically around every orbit. In a pure Kepler potential, flow along…
Martin & Lubow (2017) showed through simulations that an initially tilted disc around an eccentric binary can evolve to polar alignment in which the disc lies perpendicular to the binary orbital plane. We apply linear theory to show both…
We consider discs that orbit a central object and are tidally perturbed by a circular orbit companion. Such discs are sometimes subject to an eccentric instability due to the effects of certain resonances. Eccentric instabilities may be…
We present three-dimensional eccentric disc models of the nucleus of M31, modelling the disc as a linear combination of thick rings of massless stars orbiting in the potential of a central black hole. Our models are nonparametric…
We have examined the stability of a sequence of oblate elliptical galaxy models having the Stackel form suggested by Kuz'min & Kutuzov. We have employed the 2-integral DFs given by Dejonghe & de Zeeuw for which flattened non-rotating models…
Axisymmetric disks of eccentric orbits in near-Keplerian potentials are unstable to an out-of-plane buckling. Recently, Zderic et al. (2020) showed that an idealized disk saturates to a lopsided mode. Here we show that this apsidal…
There is increasing evidence now from simulations and observations that the centre of dark matter halo in a Milky Way type galaxy could be off-centred by a few 100 pc w.r.t. the galactic disc. We study the effect of such an offset halo on…
In this paper we develop a framework for studying unstratified, magnetised eccentric discs and compute uniformly precessing eccentric modes in a cylindrical annulus which provide convenient initial conditions for numerical simulations. The…
The disks of spiral galaxies commonly show a lopsided mass distribution, with a typical fractional amplitude of 10 % for the Fourier component m=1. This is seen in both stars and gas, and the amplitude is higher by a factor of two for…
