Non-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked adiabatic accretion flows
We investigate the linear stability of a shocked accretion flow onto a black hole in the adiabatic limit. Our linear analyses and numerical calculations show that, despite the post-shock deceleration, the shock is generally unstable to non-axisymmetric perturbations. The simulation results of Molteni, Tóth & Kuznetsov can be well explained by our linear eigenmodes. The mechanism of this instabi...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked accretion flows with differential rotation
The linear stability of a shocked isothermal accretion flow onto a black hole is investigated in the inviscid limit. The outer shock solution, which was previously found to be stable with respect to axisymmetric perturbations, is, however, generally unstable to non-axisymmetric ones. Eigenmodes and growth rates are obtained by numerical integration of the linearized equations. The mechanism of ...
متن کاملEntropic-acoustic instability in shocked accretion flows
A new instability mechanism is described in accretion flows where the gas is accelerated from a stationary shock to a sonic surface. The instability is based on a cycle of acoustic and entropic waves in this subsonic region of the flow. When advected adiabatically inward, entropy perturbations trigger acoustic waves propagating outward. If a shock is present at the outer boundary, acoustic wave...
متن کاملDynamical non-axisymmetric instabilities in rotating relativistic stars
We present new results on dynamical instabilities in rapidly rotating neutronstars. In particular, using numerical simulations in full General Relativity, we analyse the effects that the stellar compactness has on the threshold for the onset of the dynamical barmode instability, as well as on the appearance of other dynamical instabilities. By using an extrapolation technique developed and test...
متن کاملRole of Shocked Accretion Flows in Regulating the Qpo of Galactic Black Hole Candidates
Using a generalized non-spherical, multi-transonic accretion flow model, we analytically calculate the normalized QPO frequency νqpo of galactic black hole candidates in terms of dynamical flow variables and self-consistently study the dependence of νqpo on such variables. Our results are in fairly close agreement with the observed QPO frequencies of GRS 1915+105. We find that νqpo is quite sen...
