Galactic merger implications for eccentric nuclear disks: a mechanism for disk alignment
Alexander Rodriguez, Aleksey Generozov, Ann-Marie Madigan
The nucleus of our nearest, large galactic neighbor, M31, contains an eccentric nuclear disk--a disk of stars on eccentric, apsidally-aligned orbits around a supermassive black hol…
Giant Planet Influence on the Collective Gravity of a Primordial Scattered Disk
Alexander Zderic, Ann-Marie Madigan
Axisymmetric disks of high eccentricity, low mass bodies on near-Keplerian orbits are unstable to an out-of-plane buckling. This "inclination instability" exponentially grows the o…
Apsidal Clustering following the Inclination Instability
Alexander Zderic, Angela Collier, Maria Tiongco +1
Disks of low-mass bodies on high-eccentricity orbits in near-Keplerian potentials can be dynamically unstable to buckling out of the plane. In this letter, we present -body simu…
The Hills Mechanism and the Galactic Center S-stars
Aleksey Generozov, Ann-Marie Madigan
Our Galactic center contains young stars, including the few million year old clockwise disk between 0.05 and 0.5 pc from the Galactic center, and the S-star cluster of B-type stars…
