Stability theory of gaseous stars
PDE and Applied Math Seminar| Speaker: | Juhi Jang, UC Riverside |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Jan 11 2011, 3:10PM |
I'll discuss stability theory of Lane-Emden equilibrium stars under Euler-Poisson or Navier-Stokes-Poisson system. A linear stability can be characterized by the adiabatic exponent $\gamma$. A nonlinear instability will also be discussed.
