Local models of astrophysical discs
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-12-01)
Local models of gaseous accretion discs have been successfully employed for decades to describe an assortment of small-scale phenomena, from instabilities and turbulence, to dust dynamics and planet formation. For the most ...
Torsional Alfvén resonances as an efficient damping mechanism for non-radial oscillations in red giant stars
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-06-01)
Stars are self-gravitating fluids in which pressure, buoyancy, rotation and magnetic fields provide the restoring forces for global modes of oscillation. Pressure and buoyancy energetically dominate, while rotation and ...
