A New Criterion for Bar-Forming Instability in Rapidly Rotating Gaseous and Stellar Systems. I. Axisymmetric Form
D. M. Christodoulou, I. Shlosman, J. E. Tohline
We analyze previous results on the stability of uniformly and differentially rotating, self-gravitating, gaseous and stellar, axisymmetric systems to derive a new stability criteri…

Phase-Transition Theory of Instabilities.I.Second-Harmonic Instability and Bifurcation Points
D. M. Christodoulou, D. Kazanas, I. Shlosman +1
A free-energy minimization approach is used to address the secular & dynamical instabilities & the bifurcations along sequences of rotating, self-gravitating fluid and stellar syst…
