| 内容記述 | A scalar potential is used to derive a single partial differential equation governing the oscillation of a disk. The eigenfunctions and eigenfrequencies of a variety of disk models are found to fall into two main classes which are analogous to the p-modes and g-modes in the sun. Specifically, the eigenfunctions and eigenfrequencies of isothermal disks are computed, and the way in which these results can be generalized to other disk models is indicated. The (assumed) relatively small rates of growth or damping of the modes due to various mechanisms, in particular gravitational radiation reaction and parameterized models of viscosity are also computed. It is found that for certain parameters the p-modes are unstable to gravitational radiation reaction (CFS instability), while both the p-modes and g-modes are unstable to viscosity unless highly anisotropic viscosity models are considered. |
