Epicyclic oscillations of non-slender fluid tori around Kerr black holes
Considering epicyclic oscillations of pressure-supported perfect fluid tori orbiting Kerr black holes we examine non-geodesic (pressure) effects on the epicyclic modes properties. Using a perturbation method we derive fully general relativistic formulas for eigenfunctions and eigenfrequencies of the radial and vertical epicyclic modes of a slightly non-slender, constant specific angular momentu...
متن کاملOscillation modes of relativistic slender tori
Accretion flows with pressure gradients permit the existence of standing waves which may be responsible for observed quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO’s) in X-ray binaries. We present a comprehensive treatment of the linear modes of a hydrodynamic, nonself-gravitating, polytropic slender torus, with arbitrary specific angular momentum distribution, orbiting in an arbitrary axisymmetric spacetime...
متن کاملThe stability of accretion tori - I . Long - wavelength modes of slender tori
We elucidate the inviscid instabilities of an isentropic torus found previously by Papaloizou & Pringle. The torus is a polytrope of index, n, and has a small ratio of minor radius, a, to orbital radius, r0 • In equilibrium it rotates on cylinders with angular velocity profile O,ocr-q. Linear modes are proportional to exp i (m¢-wt). For small P=ma/r0 , we justify the use of height-averaged equa...
متن کاملWeak nonlinear coupling between epicyclic modes in slender tori
We examine nonlinear oscillations of slender tori in the vicinity of black holes and compact stars. These tori represent useful probes of the complicated, nonlinear dynamics of real accretion disks and provide at least qualitative understanding of their oscillations. We demonstrate that epicyclic modes of such tori are weakly coupled due to the pressure and gravitational forces. We explore all ...
متن کاملForced Oscillations in Fluid Tori and Quasi–Periodic Oscillations
The kilo-Hertz Quasi–Periodic Oscillations in X–ray binaries could originate within the accretion flow, and be a signature of non–linear fluid oscillations and mode coupling in strong gravity. The possibility to decipher these systems will impact our knowledge of fundamental parameters such as the neutron star mass, radius, and spin. Thus they offer the possibility to constrain the nuclear equa...
