Dynamics of self-organized rotating spiral-coils in bacterial swarms.
Self-propelled particles (SPP) exhibit complex collective motions, mimicking autonomous behaviors that are often seen in the natural world, but essentially are generated by simple mutual interactions. Previous research on SPP systems focuses on collective behaviors of a uniform population. However, very little is known about the evolution of individual particles under the same global influence....
متن کاملStellar Dynamics around Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
We classify orbits of stars that are bound to central black holes in galactic nuclei. The stars move under the combined gravitational influences of the black hole and the central star cluster. Within the sphere of influence of the black hole, the orbital periods of the stars are much shorter than the periods of precession. We average over the orbital motion and end up with a simpler problem and...
متن کاملOld stellar counter-rotating components in early-type galaxies from elliptical-spiral mergers
We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the possibility of forming counter-rotating old stellar components by major mergers between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy. We show that counter-rotation can appear both in dissipative and dissipationless retrograde mergers, and it is mostly associated to the presence of a disk component, which preserves part of its initial spin. In turn, th...
متن کاملRelativistic precession around rotating neutron stars: Effects due to frame-dragging and stellar oblateness
General relativity predicts that a rotating body produces a frame-dragging (or LenseThirring) effect: the orbital plane of a test particle in a non-equatorial orbit precesses about the body’s symmetry axis. In this paper we compute the precession frequencies of circular orbits around rapidly rotating neutron stars for a variety of masses and equations of state. The precession frequencies comput...
متن کاملFormation of Kinematic Subsystems in Stellar Spiral-spiral Mergers
We show that kinematically peculiar cores may be generated in stellar spiral-spiral mergers. Kinematic segregation appears as the central bulges transport orbital angular momentum inward to the center of the remnant, while the outer parts keep the spin signature of the precursor disks. The peculiar core is composed mostly of bulge material, and its size best matches that of observed peculiar co...
