This paper reports on the in-plane normal modes in the self-consistent and the cut-out power-law disks. Although the cut-out disks are remarkably stable to bisymmetric perturbations, they are very susceptible to one-armed modes. For this…
We study the oscillations and stability of self-gravitating cylindrically symmetric fluid systems and collisionless systems. This is done by studying small perturbations to the equilibrium system and finding the normal modes, using methods…
The stability of nonaxisymmetric perturbations in differentially rotating astrophysical accretion disks is analyzed by fully incorporating the properties of shear flows. We verify the presence of discrete unstable eigenmodes with complex…
We study bisymmetric modes of angular wavenumber 2 for flat stellar disks in potentials with smooth cores. Stars either all circulate in the same direction or a small fraction may counter-rotate. The bisymmetric modes are unstable unless…
The power-law disks are a family of infinitesimally thin, axisymmetric stellar disks of infinite extent. The rotation curve can be rising, falling or flat. The self-consistent power-law disks are scale-free, so that all physical quantities…
The global nonlinear time-dependent evolution of the inertial-acoustic mode instability in accretion disks surrounding black holes has been investigated. The viscous stress is assumed to be proportional to the gas pressure only, i.e.\,,…
We report the first measurements of the effect of pressure on vibrational modes in emulsions, which serve as a model for soft frictionless spheres at zero temperature. As a function of the applied pressure, we find that the density of…
Scale-free disks have no preferred length or time scale. The question has been raised whether such disks have a continuum of unstable linear modes or perhaps no unstable modes at all. We resolve this paradox by analysing the particular case…
Thin accretion discs around massive compact objects can support slow pressure modes of oscillations in the linear regime that have azimuthal wavenumber $m=1$. We consider finite, flat discs composed of barotropic fluid for various surface…
We present idealized models of a razor-thin, axisymmetric, Keplerian stellar disc around a massive black hole, and study non-axisymmetric secular instabilities in the absence of either counter-rotation or loss cones. These discs are…
We perform a linear stability analysis of the axisymmetric, relativistic, self-similar isothermal disk against non-axisymmetric perturbations. Two sets of neutral modes are discovered. The first set corresponds to marginally unstable…
We explore a series expansion method to calculate the modes of oscillations for a variety of uniformly rotating finite disks, either with or without a dark halo. Since all models have the same potential, this survey focuses on the role of…
In a disk with an oscillatory deformation from an axisymmetric state with frequency $\omega_{\rm D}$ and azimuthal wavenumber $m_{\rm D}$, a set of two normal mode oscillations with frequency and azimuthal wavenumber being ($\omega_1$,…
We calculate the scalar-gravitational quasi-normal modes of equal angular momenta Myers-Perry black holes in odd dimensions. We find a new bar-mode (non-axisymmetric) classical instability for $D \ge 7$. These black holes were previously…
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 present fully general-relativistic numerical evolutions of self-gravitating tori around spinning black holes with dimensionless spin $a/M = 0.7$ parallel or anti-parallel to the disk angular momentum. The initial disks are unstable to…
We study synchronization in a system of phase-only oscillators residing on the sites of a one-dimensional periodic lattice. The oscillators interact with a strength that decays as a power law of the separation along the lattice length and…
We re-examine excitation of a set of disk oscillations in a deformed disk by a resonant process. We assume that the disk is deformed from an axisymmetric steady state by an oscillatory deformation with frequency $\omega_{\rm D}$ and…
We present a perturbation theory for studying the instabilities of non-axisymmetric gaseous discs. We perturb the dynamical equations of self-gravitating fluids in the vicinity of a non-axisymmetric equilibrium, and expand the perturbed…
Astrophysical disks that are sufficiently cold and dense are linearly unstable to the formation of axisymmetric rings as a result of the disk's gravity. In practice, spiral structures are formed, which may in turn produce bound fragments.…
