The linear theory and N-body simulations are used to present a new, alternative model of the galaxy A0035-324 (the “Cartwheel”), which is the most
striking example of the relatively small class of ring galaxies. The model is based on the gravitational Jeans-type instability
of both axisymmetric (radial) and nonaxisymmetric (spiral) small-amplitude gravity perturbations (e.g., those produced by
spontaneous disturbances) of a dynamically cold subsystem (identified as the gaseous component) of an isolated disk galaxy.
The simplified model of a galaxy is used in which stars (and a dark matter, if it exists at all) do not participate in the
disk collective oscillations and just form a background charge. In the theory presented here, a case for both purely radial
solutions and purely spiral solutions to the equations of motion of an infinitesimally thin gaseous disk is made, which is
associated with both a radial density wave and a dominant spiral density wave which propagate outwards creating a rough ring
and a number of spiral arms. Through three-dimensional numerical simulation of a collisionless set of many particles, I associate
these gravitationally unstable axisymmetric waves and nonaxisymmetric waves with growing clumps of matter which take on the
appearance of a ring and spokes of mass blobs. 相似文献

The present-day chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way are signatures of the Galaxy's formation and evolution.
Using a self consistent chemodynamical evolution code we examine these properties within the currently favoured paradigm for
galaxy formation – hierarchical clustering within a CDM cosmology. Our Tree N-body/Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code includes
a self-consistent treatment of gravity, hydrodynamics, radiative cooling, star formation, supernova feedback and chemical
enrichment. Two models are described which explore the role of small-scale density perturbations in driving the evolution
of structure within the Milky Way. The relationship between metallicity and kinematics of halo stars are quantified and the
implications for galaxy formation discussed. While high-eccentricity halo stars have previously been considered a signature
of `rapid collapse', we suggest that many such stars may have come from recently accreted satellites.

Physical arguments suggest the spiral arms may be manifestations of the galaxy not being in dynamical equilibrium — in the sense that the kinetic energy of tis stars and gas is less relative to its binding energy than that dictated by the virial theorem. Without constant cooling of the galactic disk (i.e., a progressive increase in the binding energy of the galaxy) such a departure from dynamical equilibrium would be corrected and the spiral arms destroyed in about 109 yr due to an increase in the velocity dispersion of the stars in the disk resulting from their interacting with the spiral arms. The rate of cooling required to maintain the spiral arms, about 6×104
L
, may be provided by mass loss from stars in the disk population. The cooling arises from the average scale-heights and velocities of these stars being larger than that of the gas in the disk, so that there is a net loss of kinetic energy and an increase in the binding energy of the galaxy due to the ejected gas settling down to a lower terminal velocity and scale-height in the galactic disk. 相似文献

We systematically investigate the encounters between the Sun and neighbouring stars and their effects on cometary orbits in the Oort cloud, including the intrinsic one with the star Gl 710 (HIP 89 825), with some implications to stellar and cometary dynamics. Our approach is principally based on the combination of a Keplerian‐rectilinear model of stellar passages and the Hipparcos Catalogue (ESA 1997). Beyond the parameters of encounter, we pay particular attention to the observational errors in parallaxes and stellar velocities, and their propagation in time. Moreover, as a special case of this problem, we consider the collision probability of a star passing very closely to the Sun, taking also into account the mutual gravitational attraction between the stars. In the part dealing with the influence of stellar encounters on the orbital elements of Oort cloud comets, we derive new simple formulae calculating the changes in the cometary orbital elements, expressed as functions of the Jeans impulse formula. These expressions are then applied to calculate numerical values of the element changes caused by close encounters of neighbouring stars with some model comets in the Oort cloud. Moreover, the general condition for an ejection of comets from the cloud effected by a single encounter is derived and discussed. 相似文献

Under influence of external gravity generated by Galactic all components excluding ISM, a magnetized gas disk may experience both Parker and convective instabilities. Growth rate of the convective instability increases with decreasing perturbation wavelength, and the convective motion makes sheet-like structures all over before the Parker instability forms structures of any meaningful size in the disk. Yet the Parker instability is thought to be an ideal route to form large-scale condensations in the Galaxy. In search of a means to curb convective activities in the Galactic ISM disk, the external gravity is replaced by self-gravity as a driving force of the Parker instability and the gravitational instability is invoked to reinforce the Parker instability. Perturbation of interchange mode is known to trigger convective instability in such disk and the one of undular mode to activate the Parker instability, while the gravitational instability can be triggered by both modes. Therefore, the resulting Jeans instability would help the Parker instability to overcome disrupting behavior of the convection. Dynamical properties of the disk can be characterized by ratio α of magnetic to gas pressure, adiabatic exponent γ, scale height H of the ISM, and disk thickness za. A linear stability analysis has been done to the disk, and the maximum growth rate of the Parker–Jeans instability is compared with that of the convective instability. The latter may or may not be higher than the former, depending on the disk parameters. The Parker–Jeans instability has chances to override the convective instability, when the disk is thicker than a certain value. In the disk thinner than the critical one, the Jeans instability can always suppress the convection. Since the growth rate of the convective instability is proportional to local gravitational acceleration, thereby in the general Galactic gravity, the convective instability works actively only in upper regions, we expect chaotic features to appear in regions of low density far from Galactic mid-plane. 相似文献

Photometric observations of symbiotic stars in the blue and in the red spectral regions make it possible to reveal non-radial
oscillations both of the cool and of the hot components. Light variations of red giants in the symbiotic systems CI Cyg and
AG Peg show several periods in the 10–80d range, interpreted as p-mode pulsations. These modes are excited by a bright spot produced by radiation flux from the hot
component. The spot moves on the red giant’s photosphere at a velocity close to the sound speed. During the active phase of
the symbiotic star CH Cyg, at least 25 frequencies of oscillations in the 150–6000 s range of periods were found in the light
of the white dwarf. Their features correspond to non-radial g-modes. In the frame of 2D gas dynamical non-adiabatic models,
the interaction between gas flows and the accretion disk leads to formation of a system of shock waves propagating towards
the compact object, which is one of possible mechanisms to excite non-radial pulsations of white dwarfs in symbiotic systems. 相似文献

We investigate different approximate methods of computing the perturbations on the orbits of Oort cloud comets caused by passing stars, by checking them against an accurate numerical integration using Everhart’s RA15 code. The scenario under study is the one relevant for long-term simulations of the cloud’s response to a predefined set of stellar passages. Our sample of stellar encounters simulates those experienced by the Solar System currently, but extrapolated over a time of 1010 years. We measure the errors of perihelion distance perturbations for high-eccentricity orbits introduced by several estimators – including the classical impulse approximation and Dybczyński’s (1994, Celest. Mech. Dynam. Astron. 58, 1330–1338) method – and we study how they depend on the encounter parameters (approach distance and relative velocity). We introduce a sequential variant of Dybczyński’s approach, cutting the encounter into several steps whereby the heliocentric motion of the comet is taken into account. For the scenario at hand this is found to offer an efficient means to obtain accurate results for practically any domain of the parameter space. 相似文献

Photographic UBV photometry of NGC 2976, a low-luminosity member of the central M81 group of galaxies, is presented. Young stars in the central disk determine the optical view and the classification of this Sc(pec) galaxy. It is surrounded by a halo of an old population which contains nearly all the mass and half the luminosity of the system. This halo has some properties typical of spheroidal dwarf galaxies: an exponential brightness profile, an ellipticity trend of the isophotes typical of low-mass systems, and mass and luminosity near the upper limit of typical dwarfs. In the central population I disk, star formation proceeds in dense associations scattered irregularly in a broad ringlike region of 1.2 kpc radius just inside the turnover of the rotation curve. This star formation episode may last since some 108 a; it is possibly triggered by gas infall from the interstellar cloud generated during encounters between other group members in the central M81 group. A direct triggering by recent encounters is excluded since NGC 2976 is undisturbed in its outer parts. 相似文献

We consider the generation of low-frequency magnetic field disturbances in coronal loops when low density proton and electron
beams propagate in them. Two mechanisms of low-frequency magnetic field perturbation generation are analyzed. The first mechanism
is concerned with the longitudinal current generated by charged particles’ beams moving in the loop. It is shown that this
mechanism of the Alfvén waves’ generation can lead to development of low-frequency perturbations even if the currents are
very weak. It can facilitate the reconnection of magnetic fields and flare development. The second mechanism is not concerned
with currents propagating in the coronal loop. It is shown that, in this case, the proton beams can cause an instability with
significantly lower values of beam density. We found increments and criteria of the development of instabilities. Not only
Alfvén-type perturbations can be generated as a result of development of those instabilities but also kinetic Alfvén-type
perturbations can be generated. 相似文献

We consider a model for the cyclic activity of young binary stars that accrete matter from the remnants of a protostellar
cloud. If the orbit of such a binary system is inclined at a small angle to the line of sight, then the streams of matter
and the density waves excited in the circumbinary disk can screen the primary component of the binary from the observer. To
study these phenomena by the SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) method, we have computed grids of hydrodynamic models for
binary systems based on which we have constructed the light curves as a function of the orbital phase. The main emphasis is
on investigating the properties of the brightness oscillations. Therefore, the model parameters were varied within the following
ranges: the component mass ratio q = M
2: M
1 = 0.2–0.5 and the eccentricity = 0–0.7. The parameter that defined the binary viscosity was also varied. We adopted optical
grain characteristics typical of circumstellar dust. Our computations have shown that bimodal oscillations are excited in
binaries with eccentric orbits, provided that the binary components do not differ too much in mass. In this case, the ratios
of the periods and amplitudes of the bimodal oscillations and their shape depend strongly on the inclination of the binary
plane and its orientation relative to the observer. Our analysis shows that the computed light curves can be used in interpreting
the cyclic activity of UX Ori stars. 相似文献

Nonlinear perturbations of gaseous disks with Jeans instability are investigated and it is shown that interactions of exponentially
growing perturbations in certain cases result in the establishment of nonlinear spiral structures. The problem of the spiral
structure of galaxies is discussed from the standpoint of nonlinear wave theory.

Numerical simulations are performed to study the tidal effects of non-merging rapid head-on collision between a disk galaxy
and a spherical galaxy. The disk consists of three components – a disk, a bulge and a halo – and the spherical galaxy is a
Plummer model. The galaxies have the same dimensions with different mass ratios viz., 2, 1 and 0.5. They move in a rectilinear
orbit with a relative velocity of 1000 km s−1.
None of the simulations leads to the merger of the galaxies by tidal capture. The results of our simulations indicate that
although tidal effects are sensitive to both the mass ratio and the inclination of the disk to the orbital plane, it is the
mass ratio which is more important in producing tidal damage to the less massive galaxy. The spherical galaxy undergoes considerable
tidal effects if the mass of the disk is same or larger. On the other hand the collisions in which the mass of the spherical
galaxy is more, result in the formation of a ring structure after the closest approach and the structure disappears by the
end of the simulations. 相似文献

Instabilities in a nonstationary model of self-gravitating disks. I. Bar and ring perturbation modes
The instabilities of bar and ring mode perturbations against the background of a disk oscillating nonlinearly in its own plane
are examined in a disk model which is a nonstationary generalization of the well known Bisnovatyi-Kogan-Zel'dovich model.
Nonstationary analogs corresponding to a dispersion relation are found for these two oscillation modes. The results of the
calculations are presented in the form of critical dependences of the initial virial ratio on the degree of rotation. A comparative
analysis of the growth rates of the gravitational instability for these modes is also carried out. The bar mode instability
occurs if the initial total kinetic energy of the disk is no more than 10.4% of the initial potential energy. The mechanism
is associated with an instability in the radial motions which is aperiodic for small values of the rotation parameter Ω <
0.1, but is otherwise oscillatory. Calculations show that a ring structure can be formed as a result of an instability in
the radial motions if the initial total energy of the model is no more than 5.2% of the initial potential energy, regardless
of the value of Ω.

An improved linear stability theory of small-amplitude oscillations of a self-gravitating, infinitesimally thin gaseous disk
of spiral galaxies has been developed by Bertin, Lau, Lin, Mark, Morozov, Polyachenko, and others in the approximation of
moderately tightly wound gravity perturbations. In this regime, the generalized Lin–Shu type dispersion relation was also
found by including higher order terms in the small parameter 1/kr for wavenumber k and radius r. It was shown that in the differentially rotating disks for nonaxisymmetric (spiral)perturbations Toomre's modified critical
Q-parameter is larger than the standard one: the fact that the spiral perturbations in the nonuniformly rotating system are
more unstable than the axisymmetric ones is taken into account in this modified local stability criterion. We use hydrodynamical
simulations to test the validity of the modified local criterion.

The evolution of the perihelion distance distribution in the Oort cloud was studied over the age of the solar system, under the gravitational perturbations of random passing stars, using a statistical approach. These perturbations are accounted for through an empirical relation relating the change in cometary perihelion distance to the closest-approach comet-star distance; this relation is deduced from a previous study [H. Scholl, A. Cazenave, and A. Brahic, Astron. Astrophys.112, 157–166 (1982)]. Two kinds of initial perihelion distances are considered: (a) perihelion distances <2500 AU, associated with an origin of comets as icy planetesimals in the region of the giant planets, and (b) larger perihelion distances (up to 5 × 104 AU), possibly representative of comet formation as satellite fragments in the accretion disk of the primitive solar nebula. Distant star-comet encounters, as well as rare close encounters, are considered. Several quantities are estimated: (i) number of “new” comets entering into the planetary region, (ii) number of comets escaping the Sun sphere of influence or lost by hyperbolic ejection and (iii) percentage of total comet loss over the age of the solar system. From these quantities, the current and original cloud populations are deduced, as well as the corresponding cloud mass, for the two types of formation scenarios. 相似文献

This paper explores the phenomenon of energy relaxation for stars in a galaxy embedded in a high-density environment that is subjected continually to perturbations reflecting the presence of other nearby galaxies and/or incoherent internal pulsations. The analysis is similar to earlier analyses of energy relaxation induced by binary encounters between nearby stars and between stars and giant molecular clouds in that the perturbations are idealized as a sum of near-random events which can be modelled as diffusion and dynamical friction. However, the analysis differs in one important respect: because the time-scale associated with these perturbations need not be short compared with the characteristic dynamical time t D for stars in the original galaxy, the diffusion process cannot be modelled as resulting from a sequence of instantaneous kicks, i.e. white noise. Instead, the diffusion is modelled as resulting from random kicks of finite duration, i.e. coloured noise, characterized by a non-zero autocorrelation time t c . A detailed analysis of coloured noise generated by sampling an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process leads to a simple scaling in terms of t c and an effective diffusion constant D . Interpreting D and t c following early work by Chandrasekhar (the 'nearest neighbour approximation') implies that, for realistic choices of parameter values, energy relaxation associated with an external environment and/or internal pulsations could be important on times short compared with the age of the Universe. 相似文献

We propose a kinematic approach to searching for the stars that could be formed with the Sun in a common “parent” open cluster.
The approach consists in preselecting suitable candidates by the closeness of their space velocities to the solar velocity
and analyzing the parameters of their encounters with the solar orbit in the past in a time interval comparable to the lifetime
of stars. We consider stars from the Hipparcos catalog with available radial velocities. The Galactic orbits of stars have
been constructed in the Allen-Santillan potential by taking into account the perturbations from the spiral density wave. We
show that two stars, HIP 87382 and HIP 47399, are of considerable interest in our problem. Their orbits oscillate near the
solar orbit with an amplitude of ≈250 pc; there are short-term close encounters to distances <10 pc. Both stars have an evolutionary
status and metallicity similar to the solar ones. 相似文献

We consider a model for the cyclic brightness variations of a young star with a low-mass companion that accretes matter from
the remnants of a protostellar cloud. At small inclinations of the binary orbit to the line of sight, the streams of matter
and the density waves excited in the circumbinary disk can screen the primary component of the binary from the observer. To
study these phenomena, we have computed grids of hydrodynamic models for binary systems by the SPH method based on which we
have calculated the phase light curves for the different orientations of the orbit. The model parameters were varied within
the following ranges: the component mass ratio q = 0.01–0.1 and the eccentricity e = 0–0.5. We adopted optical grain characteristics typical of circumstellar dust. Our computations have shown that the brightness
oscillations with orbital phase can have a complex structure. The amplitudes and shapes of the light curves depend strongly
on the inclination of the binary orbit and its orientation relative to the observer and on the accretion rate. The results
of our computations are used to analyze the cyclic activity of UX Ori stars. 相似文献
