Abstract

We investigate properties of stationary aligned and unaligned spiral perturbation configurations in a composite system of gravitationally coupled stellar and gaseous singular isothermal disks (SIDs) using the two-fluid formalism. We obtain stationary perturbation solutions for aligned and unaligned spiral logarithmic configurations in such a composite SID system and derive analytically existence criteria for these solutions. In comparison with the similar problem of a single SID studied by Shu et al. (2000), there are now two possible sets of solutions owing to an additional SID.
