Disk heating by more than one spiral density wave
I. Minchev, A. C. Quillen
We consider a differentially rotating, 2D stellar disk perturbed by two steady state spiral density waves moving at different patterns speeds. Our investigation is based on direct…
Radial disk heating by more than one spiral density wave
I. Minchev, A. C. Quillen
We consider a differentially rotating, 2D stellar disk perturbed by two steady state spiral density waves moving at different patterns speeds. Our investigation is based on direct…
The Warped Nuclear Disk of Radio Galaxy 3C 449
Grant R. Tremblay, Alice C. Quillen, David J. E. Floyd +11
Among radio galaxies containing nuclear dust disks, the bipolar jet axis is generally observed to be perpendicular to the disk major axis. The FR I radio source 3C 449 is an outlie…
Reducing the Probability of Capture into Resonance
Alice C. Quillen
A migrating planet can capture planetesimals into mean motion resonances. However, resonant trapping can be prevented when the drift or migration rate is sufficiently high. Using a…
Multiwavelength Monitoring of the Dwarf Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4395. I. A Reverberation-Based Measurement of the Black Hole Mass
Bradley M. Peterson, Misty C. Bentz, Louis-Benoit Desroches +8
A reverberation-mapping program on NGC 4395, the least-luminous known Seyfert 1 galaxy, undertaken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope, yiel…
The Warped Circumstellar Disk of HD100546
Alice C. Quillen
We propose that the two armed spiral features seen in visible Hubble Space Telescope images of scattered light in HD100546's circumstellar disk are caused by the illumination of a…
