Tilt, Warp, and Simultaneous Precessions in Disks
M. M. Montgomery
Warps are suspected in disks around massive compact objects. However, the proposed warping source -- non-axisymmetric radiation pressure -- does not apply to white dwarfs. In this…
Numerical Simulations of Naturally Tilted, Retrogradely Precessing, Nodal Superhumping Accretion Disks
M. M. Montgomery
Accretion disks around black hole, neutron star, and white dwarf systems are thought to sometimes tilt, retrogradely precess, and produce hump-shaped modulations in light curves th…
Accretion Discs with an Inner Spiral Density Wave
M. M. Montgomery, D. V. Bisikalo
In Montgomery (2009a), we show that accretion discs in binary systems could retrogradely precess by tidal torques like the Moon and the Sun on a tilted, spinning, non-spherical Ear…
Source to Accretion Disk Tilt
M. M. Montgomery, E. L. Martin
Many different system types retrogradely precess, and retrograde precession could be from a tidal torque by the secondary on a misaligned accretion disk. However, a source to cause…
Does an Average White Dwarf Have Enough Mass to Prevent an Accretion Disk Tilt?
M. M. Montgomery
In a recent publication, we introduce the lift force as a common source to accretion disk tilt that is likely relevant to accretion disk systems. Lift is generated by slightly diff…
Connections Between Tilted Accretion Disks Around White Dwarfs and Substellar Companions
M. M. Montgomery
Accretion disks in white dwarf systems are believed to be tilted. In a recent publication, the lift force has been suggested to be a source to disk tilt, a source that is likely re…
Earth, Moon, Sun, and CV Accretion Disks
M. M. Montgomery
Net tidal torque by the secondary on a misaligned accretion disk, like the net tidal torque by the Moon and the Sun on the equatorial bulge of the spinning and tilted Earth, is sug…
Atlas of Tilted Accretion Disks & Source to Negative Superhumps
M. M. Montgomery
Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics, we numerically simulate steady state accretion discs for Cataclysmic Variable Dwarf Novae systems that have a secondary-to-primary mass ratio…
