Hot, Rotating Disks In General Relativity: Collisionless Equilibrium Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a method for constructing equilibrium disks with net angular momentum in general relativity. The method solves the relativistic Vlasov equation coupled to Einstein’s equations for the gravitational field. We apply the method to construct disks that are relativistic versions of Newtonian Kalnajs disks. In Newtonian gravity these disks are analytic, and are stable against ring formation for certain ranges of their velocity dispersion. We investigate the existence of fully general relativistic equilibrium sequences for differing values of the velocity dispersion. These models are the first rotating, relativistic disk solutions of the collisionless Boltzman equation.

Thermodynamic Description of Inelastic Collisions in General Relativity
We discuss head-on collisions of neutron stars and disks of dust (“galaxies”) following the ideas of equilibrium thermodynamics, which compares equilibrium states and avoids the description of the dynamical transition processes between them. As an always present damping mechanism, gravitational emission results in final equilibrium states after the collision. In this paper we calculate selected...
متن کاملThe Influence of Triaxial Halos on Collisionless Galactic Disks
We investigate the effect of rotating, triaxial halos on disk galaxies through an extensive set of numerical N -body simulations. Our simulations use a rigid potential field for the halos and bulges and collisionless particles for the disks. The triaxiality and the rotation rate of the halo are varied, as well as the masses of all three galaxy components. We analyze both the bar stability and t...
متن کاملDescription of Pseudo-newtonian Potential for the Relativistic Accretion Disk around Kerr Black Holes
We present a pseudo-Newtonian potential for accretion disk modeling around the rotating black holes. This potential can describe the general relativistic effects on accretion disk. As the inclusion of rotation in a proper way is very important at an inner edge of disk the potential is derived from the Kerr metric. This potential can reproduce all the essential properties of general relativity w...
متن کاملExact General Relativistic Disks with Magnetic Fields
The well-known “displace, cut, and reflect” method used to generate cold disks from given solutions of Einstein equations is extended to solutions of Einstein-Maxwell equations. Four exact solutions of the these last equations are used to construct models of hot disks with surface density, azimuthal pressure, and azimuthal current. The solutions are closely related to Kerr, Taub-NUT, Lynden-Bel...
