Linear Analysis of the Nonaxisymmetric Secular Gravitational Instability

Abstract
In protoplanetary discs (PPDs) consisting of gas and dust particles, fluid instabilities induced by the drag force, including secular gravitational instability (SGI) can facilitate planet formation. Although SGI subject to the axisymmetric perturbations was originally studied in the absence of gas feedback and it then generalized using a two-fluid approach, the fate of the nonaxisymmetric SGI, in either case, is an unexplored problem. We present a linear perturbation analysis of the nonaxisymmetric SGI in a PPD by implementing a two-fluid model. We explore the growth of the local, nonaxisymmetric perturbations using a set of linearized perturbation equations in a sheared frame. The nonaxisymmetric perturbations display significant growth during a finite time interval even when the system is stable against the axisymmetric perturbations. Furthermore, the surface density perturbations do not show continuous growth but are temporally amplified. We also study cases where the dust component undergoes amplification whereas the gas component remains stable. The amplitude amplification, however, strongly depends on the model parameters. In the minimum mass solar nebula (MMSN), for instance, the dust fluid amplification at the radial distance 100 au occurs when the Stokes number is about unity. But the amplification factor reduces as the dust and gas coupling becomes weaker. Furthermore, perturbations with a larger azimuthal wavelength exhibit a larger amplification factor.
