On the Dynamics of the Inclination Instability
Ann-Marie Madigan, Alexander Zderic, Michael McCourt +1
Axisymmetric disks of eccentric Kepler orbits are vulnerable to an instability which causes orbits to exponentially grow in inclination, decrease in eccentricity, and cluster in th…

A new inclination instability reshapes Keplerian disks into cones: application to the outer Solar System
Ann-Marie Madigan, Michael McCourt
Disks of bodies orbiting a much more massive central object are extremely common in astrophysics. When the orbits comprising such disks are eccentric, we show they are susceptible…
