On chaotic behavior of gravitating stellar shells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motion of two gravitating spherical stellar shells around a massive central body is considered. Each shell consists of point particles with the same specific angular momenta and energies. In the case when one can neglect the influence of gravitation of one ("light") shell onto another ("heavy") shell ("restricted problem") the structure of the phase space is described. The scaling laws for the measure of the domain of chaotic motion and for the minimal energy of the light shell sufficient for its escape to infinity are obtained.

Model of ejection of matter from nonstationary dense stellar clusters and chaotic motion of gravitating shells
It is shown that during the motion of two initially gravitationally bound spherical shells, consisting of point particles moving along ballistic trajectories, one of the shell may be expelled to infinity at subrelativistic speed v exp ≤ 0.25c. The problem is solved in Newtonian gravity. Motion of two intersecting shells in the case when they do not runaway shows a chaotic behaviour. We hope tha...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
متن کاملA physicist’s view of stellar dynamics: dynamical instability of stellar systems
I argue that the widely adopted framework of stellar dynamics survived since 1940s, is not fitting the current knowledge on non-linear systems. Borrowed from plasma physics when several fundamental features of perturbed non-linear systems were unknown, that framework ignores the difference in the role of perturbations in two different classes of systems, in plasma with Debye screening and gravi...

We summarize the general formalism describing surface flows in three–dimensional space in a form which is suitable for various astrophysical applications. We then apply the formalism to the analysis of non–radial perturbations of self–gravitating spherical fluid shells. Spherically symmetric gravitating shells (or bubbles) have been used in numerous model problems especially in general relativi...
متن کاملThe effect of supply network configuration on occurring chaotic behavior in the retailer’s inventory
ToToday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. In this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. Chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. For chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...
