Understanding how bodies interact with each other and with disk material holds the key to understanding the architecture of stellar systems and of planetary systems. While the interactions between point sources can be described by simple gravity, int...
Upon the impact of a flat disk on a boiling liquid, i.e., a liquid that is in thermal equilibrium with its own vapor, a thin vapor layer is entrapped under the disk. Due to the tendency of vapor to undergo phase change under pressure variation upon i...
Thick disks are faint and extended stellar components found around several disk galaxies including our Milky Way. The Milky Way thick disk, the only one studied in detail, contains mostly old disk stars (~10 Gyr), so that thick disks are likely to...
The thick disk is one of the structural components of about 2/3 of all disk galaxies, including the Milky Way. It was discovered first in external edge-on
Modern disk controllers are integrated into the disk drive as peripheral controllers. For example, SCSI disks have built-in SCSI controllers. In the past
Our proximity and external vantage point make M31 an ideal testbed for understanding the structure of spiral galaxies. The Andromeda Optical and Infrared Disk Survey (ANDROIDS) has mapped M31's bulge and disk out to R=40 kpc in $ugriJK_s$ bands with...
We use a suite of numerical simulations to investigate the mechanisms and effects of radial migration of stars in disk galaxies like the Milky Way (MW). An isolated, collisionless stellar disk with a MW-like scale-height shows only the radial "blurri...

Using SPITZER 3.6$μ$m imaging, we investigate the physical and data-driven origins of up-bending (Type III) disk breaks. We apply a robust new break-finding algorithm to 175 low-inclination disk galaxies previously identified as containing Type III...
The search for accreted satellites in the Galactic disk is a challenging task, to which Gaia plays a crucial role in synergy with ground-based spectroscopic surveys. In 2021, Re Fiorentin et al. discovered five substructures with disk kinematics incl...

We present an updated version of the semi-analytic Just-Jahreiß (JJ) model of the Galactic disk and constrain its parameters in the Solar neighbourhood. The new features of the JJ model include a simple two-component gaseous disk, a star-formation r...
We present a generalised version of the semi-analytic Just-Jahreiss (JJ) model of the Galactic disk that incorporates our findings for the solar neighbourhood and is applicable to a wide range of galactocentric distances, 4 kpc $\lesssim R \lesssim $...
I was in a meeting at work today and my boss (55M) made a joke about "hitting the floppy disk" to save a document. Everyone over 35 laughed. Everyone under 30 looked confused. Then he pointed at the...
The disk instability mechanism for giant planet formation is based on the formation of clumps in a marginally-gravitationally unstable protoplanetary disk, which must lose thermal energy through a combination of convection and radiative cooling if...
Using idealized models of the accretion disk we investigate the relativistic effects on the energy deposition rate via neutrino pair annihilation near the rotation axis of a Kerr black hole. Neutrinos are emitted from the accretion disk. The bendin...
Michael Handel proved in Handel (1999) the existence of a fixed point for an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the open unit disk that can be extended to the closed disk, provided that it has points whose orbits form an oriented cycle of links...
The potential for planet formation of a circumstellar disk depends on the dust and gas reservoirs, which evolve as a function of the disk age. The ALMA Large Program AGE-PRO has measured several disk properties across three star-forming regions of di...
