These dispersion relations are analyzed separately for transverse and longitudinal wave propagation modes. Jeans instability criteria are obtained for kinetic and hydrodynamic limits for both modes of wave propagation, and it is found that the critical Jeans wavenumbers in each case are modified due to the presence of viscoelastic effects, radiation and cosmic rays pressures, and Alfvên wave velocity. It is also observed that the radiation pressure, cosmic ray pressure and viscoelastic parameters suppress the growth rate and thus have stabilizing effects on the Jeans instability. However, cosmic ray diffusion has a destabilizing effect on the onset of gravitational instability. The effects of various parameters on the growth rate of instability are calculated numerically and the outcomes are depicted graphically. The results of the present analysis shall be helpful in understanding the impact of cosmic rays and radiative mechanisms on the gravitational collapse in the viscoelastic region of molecular cloud clumps.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102251"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141026716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies how stellar orbits at the galaxy’s central region are disturbed by an asymmetric dark matter halo potential. Evidence from the observations and simulations in the Milky Way type galaxy suggests that the center of the dark matter halo could be off-centered by a few parsecs concerning the center of the core. The equations of motion of stars in the core of galaxies are expressed in terms of three-dimensional perturbed potential arising from the offset halo. The central region’s azimuthal variation in the effective potential is obtained and the first-order epicyclic theory is used to solve for the orbits. The magnitude of this perturbation potential grows at small radii and exhibits <span><math><mrow><mi>m</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math></span> azimuthal fluctuations. In the central region, within 3 kpc radius, even a small halo offset of 300 pc can cause a surprisingly strong spatial and kinematical lopsidedness. A planar orbit, initially assumed to be in disc plane, tends to leave the plane giving rise to non-planar configuration. Furthermore, as long as the halo offset persists, the central region will stay lopsided. The dark matter halo would significantly impact the dynamic development of this region and could help fuel the active galactic nucleus.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102246"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140894096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various unbounded and bounded timelike trajectories are presented on the wormhole embedding diagrams, in which some of the bound orbits involve intersection points that may lead to causality violating geodesics. Another class of closed timelike geodesics are obtained in the unstable circular trajectory that appeared at the wormhole throat. Finally, the trajectories are classified in terms of the family of CTG orbits.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140605221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
