Self-similar spherical collapse with non-radial motions

چکیده

We derive the asymptotic mass profile near the collapse center of an initial spherical density perturbation, δ ∝ M, of collision-less particles with non-radial motions. We show that angular momenta introduced at the initial time do not affect the mass profile. Alternatively, we consider a scheme in which a particle moves on a radial orbit until it reaches its turnaround radius, r∗. At turnaround the particle acquires an angular momentum L = L √ GM∗r∗ per unit mass, where M∗ is the mass interior to r∗. In this scheme, the mass profile is M ∝ r for all ǫ > 0, in the region r/rt ≪ L, where rt is the current turnaround radius. If L ≪ 1 then the profile in the region L ≪ r/rt ≪ is M ∝ r for ǫ < 2/3. The derivation relies on a general property of non-radial orbits which is that ratio of the pericenter to apocenter is constant in a force field k(t)r with k(t) varying adiabatically.

Envelope Expansion with Core Collapse. I. Spherical Isothermal Similarity Solutions

We investigate self-similar dynamical processes in an isothermal self-gravitational fluid with spherical symmetry. In reference to earlier complementary solution results of Larson, Penston, Shu, Hunter and Whitworth & Summers, we further explore the ‘semi-complete solution space’ from an initial instant t→ 0 to a final stage t→ +∞. These similarity solutions can describe and accommodate physica...

Divergence of the Quantum Stress Tensor on the Cauchy Horizon in 2-d Dust Collapse

We prove that the quantum stress tensor for a massless scalar field in two dimensional non-self-similar Tolman-Bondi dust collapse and Vaidya radiation collapse models diverges on the Cauchy horizon, if the latter exists. The two dimensional model is obtained by suppressing angular coordinates in the corresponding four dimensional spherical model.

Fokker-Planck Models of Star Clusters with Anisotropic Velocity Distributions. I. Pre-Collapse Evolution

The evolution of a spherical single-mass star cluster is followed in detail up to core collapse by numerically solving the orbit-averaged two-dimensional FokkerPlanck equation in energy-angular momentum space. Velocity anisotropy is allowed in the two-dimensional Fokker-Planck model. Using improved numerical codes, the evolution has been followed until the central density increased by a factor ...

Quasi-Spherical Gravitational Collapse in higher dimension and the effect of equation of state

Gravitational collapse in (n+2) dimensional quasi-spherical space-time is studied for a fluid with non vanishing radial pressure. An exact analytic solution is obtained (ignoring the arbitrary integration function) for the equation of state pr = (γ − 1)ρ. The singularity is studied locally by comparing the time of formation of apparent horizon and the central shell focusing singularity while th...

Higher Dimensional Self-similar Spherical Symmetric Scalar Field Collapse and Critical Phenomena in Black Hole Formation

The higher dimensional spherical symmetric scalar field collapse problem is studied in the light of the critical behavior in black hole formation. To make the analysis tractable, the self similarity is also imposed. By giving a new view to the self-similar scalar field collapse problem, we give the general formula for the critical exponents in higher dimensions. In the process, the explanation ...
