A simple model for accretion disks in the post-Newtonian approximation
Authors
Abstract:
p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }a:link { } In this paper, the evolution of accretion disks in the post-Newtonian limit has been investigated. These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework of Newtonian dynamics and gravity, it is necessary to consider the effects of relativity on the structure of disks near the central body. To this end, by adding the post-Newtonian corrections to the hydrodynamic equations of the fluids, the equations for the time transformation of the accretion disks at the post-Newtonian limit were obtained; by using this equation, the surface density of the disk, which is dependent on radius and time, is got quasi- analytically. Finally, we compare the time evolution of the accretion disks in Newtonian and post-Newtonian gravity.

The Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows
In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...

Using an energy-momentum tensor for spinning particles due to Dixon and Bailey-Israel, we develop the post-Newtonian approximation for N spinning particles in a self-contained manner. The equations of motion are derived directly from this energy-momentum tensor. Following the formalism of Epstein and Wagoner, we also obtain the waveform and the luminosity of the gravitational wave generated by ...
full textPost-Newtonian approximation in Maxwell-like form
The equations of the linearized first post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity are often written in ‘‘gravitoelectromagnetic’’ Maxwell-like form, since that facilitates physical intuition. Damour, Soffel, and Xu (DSX) (as a side issue in their complex but elegant papers on relativistic celestial mechanics) have expressed the first post-Newtonian approximation, including all nonlineari...

We use the post-Newtonian (pn) order of Liouville’s equation to study the normal modes of oscillation of a spherically symmetric relativistic system. Perturbations that are neutral in Newtonian approximation develop into a new sequence of normal modes. In the first pn order; a) their frequency is an order q smaller than the classical frequencies, where q is a pn expansion parameter; b) they are...

There is a natural relationship to the post-Newtonian expansion scheme that is used to describe sources of gravity which are not too far from Newtonian, i.e, not too relativistic. Here the expantion can lead to the solutions for the exterior fields of such sources. Till now the post-Newtonian expansion known to high order, in some cases 8 th order. This paper has provided a high order expansion...
full textThe Post-Newtonian Approximation for Relativistic Compact Binaries
We discuss various aspects of the post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity. After presenting the foundation based on the Newtonian limit, we show a method to derive post-Newtonian equations of motion for relativistic compact binaries based on a surface integral approach and the strong field point particle limit. As an application we derive third post-Newtonian equations of motion for ...
