Turbulent gas-rich discs at high redshift: the origin of early massive stellar bars

Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Thor Tepper-Garcia, Chris Hamilton +4

Recent observations combining the power of ALMA and JWST have revealed large ( kpc), massive () stellar bars at when the Universe…

Swing amplification in star-gas disks

Abhishek Hegade K. R., Chris Hamilton

Recent JWST and ALMA observations have revealed stellar bars and spirals in gas-rich galactic disks at redshifts as high as . The simplest theoretical paradigm we have…

Short-Range Forces Can Catalyze Extreme Orbital Evolution in Hierarchical Triples

Ygal Y. Klein, Chris Hamilton

Hierarchical triples are promising environments for producing exotica such as black hole mergers and hot Jupiters, because of the von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) effect, whereby a dis…

Interstellar Medium-Driven Orbital Transport -- I. Radial Heating and Migration

Shaunak Modak, Chris Hamilton, Eve C. Ostriker +1

Interstellar medium (ISM) structures gravitationally perturb stellar orbits in galactic disks, driving orbital heating and migration. However, studies of these transport processes…

Phase spirals across galactic disks I: Exploring dynamical influences on winding

Kiyan Tavangar, Kathryn V. Johnston, Jason A. S. Hunt +4

The vertical phase-space spirals in the Milky Way are clear evidence of disequilibrium. However, they are challenging to study because phase mixing signals evolve under the influen…

On the radial velocity wave in the Galactic disk

Chris Hamilton, Andrew Mummery, Joss Bland-Hawthorn

Stars in the Galactic disk have mean radial velocities that oscillate as a function of angular momentum . This `- wave' signal also exh…
