On the Jeans criterion for hydrostatic and infalling gas
Carlo Nipoti
We study the local gravitational instability of non-rotating astrophysical fluids allowing for the presence of an external gravitational potential in addition to the fluid self-gra…
Local gravitational instability of two-component thick discs in three dimensions
Carlo Nipoti, Cristina Caprioglio, Cecilia Bacchini
The local gravitational instability of rotating discs is believed to be an important mechanism in different astrophysical processes, including the formation of gas and stellar clum…
A 3D view on the local gravitational instability of cold gas discs in star-forming galaxies at
C. Bacchini, C. Nipoti, G. Iorio +6
Local gravitational instability (LGI) is considered crucial for regulating star formation and gas turbulence in galaxy discs, especially at high redshift. Instability criteria usua…
Galactic cannibalism in the galaxy cluster C0337-2522 at z=0.59
C. Nipoti, M. Stiavelli, L. Ciotti +2
According to the galactic cannibalism model, cD galaxies are formed in the center of galaxy clusters by merging of massive galaxies and accretion of smaller stellar systems: howeve…
