On the tidal evolution of Hot Jupiters on inclined orbits
A. J. Barker, G. I. Ogilvie
Tidal friction is thought to be important in determining the long-term spin-orbit evolution of short-period extrasolar planetary systems. Using a simple model of the orbit-averaged…
James Clerk Maxwell and the dynamics of astrophysical discs
Gordon I. Ogilvie
Maxwell's investigations into the stability of Saturn's rings provide one of the earliest analyses of the dynamics of astrophysical discs. Current research in planetary rings exten…
Magnetorotational-type instability in Couette-Taylor flow of a viscoelastic polymer liquid
Gordon I. Ogilvie, Adrian T. Potter
We describe an instability of viscoelastic Couette-Taylor flow that is directly analogous to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics, with pol…
A self-sustaining nonlinear dynamo process in Keplerian shear flows
F. Rincon, G. I. Ogilvie, M. R. E. Proctor
A three-dimensional nonlinear dynamo process is identified in rotating plane Couette flow in the Keplerian regime. It is analogous to the hydrodynamic self-sustaining process in no…
