Energy and Angular Momentum Transfer in Binary Galaxies

چکیده
We have numerically studied tidal effects of a massive perturber on a satellite galaxy. The model consists of a spherical satellite galaxy and a point mass perturber and the encounter is non-penetrating. A wide range of density ratios and eccentricities of the relative orbits have been considered. The disruption of the satellite galaxy has been observed when the numerical value of the fractional change in the energy is greater than two. The changes in the energy and angular momentum show smooth variation in the case of unbound orbits and irregular variation in the bound orbit cases. It is shown that for a constant pericentric distance, increasing the density ratio decreases the tidal effects; and for a given density ratio an increase in the eccentricity decreases the tidal effects.

The Origin and Distribution of Angular Momentum in Galaxies
Cold Dark Matter with a large cosmological constant (ΛCDM) appears to fit large scale structure observations well. Of the possible small scale problems, the Central Cusps and Too Many Satellites problems now appear to be at least partly solved, so Angular Momentum has become the most serious remaining CDM problem. There are actually at least two different angular momentum problems: A. Too much ...
متن کاملSupermassive binary black hole mergers
When galaxies collide, dynamical friction drives their central supermassive black holes close enought to each other such that gravitational radiation becomes the leading dissipative effect. Gravitational radiation takes away energy, momentum and angular momentum from the compact binary, such that the black holes finally merge. In the process, the spin of the dominant black hole is reoriented. O...
متن کاملThe evolution of black–hole mass and angular momentum
We show that neither accretion nor angular momentum extraction are likely to lead to significant changes in the mass M1 or angular momentum parameter a∗ of a black hole in a binary system with realistic parameters. Current values of M1 and a∗ therefore probably reflect those at formation. We show further that sufficiently energetic jet ejection powered by the black hole’s rotational energy can ...
متن کاملChemical reaction and thermal radiation effects on MHD micropolar fluid past a stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium
The paper aims at investigating the effects of chemical reaction and thermal radiation on the steady two-dimensional laminar flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid past a stretching surface embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium. The radiative heat flux is assumed to follow Rosseland approximation. The governing equations of momentum, angular momentum, energy, ...
متن کاملThe Stability of Double White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Direct Impact Accretion
We present numerical simulations of dynamically unstable mass transfer in a double white dwarf binary with initial mass ratio, q = 0.4. The binary components are approximated as polytropes of index n = 3/2 and the initially synchronously rotating, semi-detached equilibrium binary is evolved hydrodynamically with the gravitational potential being computed through the solution of Poisson’s equati...
