Stellar Migration by Short Lived Density Peaks Arising from Interference of Spiral Density Waves in an N-body Simulation

Justin Comparetta, Alice C. Quillen

We identify migrating stars in an N-body simulation of a Milky-Way-like disk. Outward migration can occur when a star in a low eccentricity orbit lags a short-lived local spiral ar…
