Numerical self-consistent stellar models of thin disks
We find a numerical self-consistent stellar model by finding the distribution function of a thin disk that satisfies simultaneously the Fokker-Planck and Poisson equations. The solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is found by a direct numerical solver using finite differences and a variation of Stone’s method. The collision term in the Fokker-Planck equation is found using the local approxima...
متن کاملSelf-consistent stellar dynamical tori
We present preliminary results on a new family of distribution functions that are able to generate axisymmetric, truncated (i.e., finite size) stellar dynamical models characterized by toroidal shapes. The relevant distribution functions generalize those that are known to describe polytropic spheres, for which all the dynamical and structural properties of the system can be expressed in explici...
متن کاملNumerical Models of Accretion Disks
I review recent numerical studies of accretion disks, focusing on measurements of the turbulent shear stress, or α, in the shearing box model. I conclude with a list of astronomically relevant open questions that can be settled via future numerical experiments.
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Self-gravitating Magnetized Disks
We present the first global simulations of self-gravitating magnetized tori. The simulations are performed with Zeus-2D and GLOBAL. We find the magne-torotational instability (MRI) to behave similarly in a self-gravitating environment as in previous simulations of non self-gravitating systems: enhancement of turbulent angular momentum transport follows the linear phase. The torus quickly develo...
متن کاملMinimum Velocity Dispersion in Stable Stellar Disks . ̧ Numerical Simulations
We used N-body dynamical simulations to analyze the conditions for the gravitational stability of a three-dimensional stellar disk in the grav-itational field of two rigid spherical components — a bulge and a halo, whose central concentrations and relative masses vary over wide ranges. The number of point masses N in the simulations varied from 40 to 500 thousands and the evolution of the simul...
