Stationary perturbation configurations in a composite system of stellar and coplanarly magnetized gaseous singular isothermal discs

Abstract

We construct aligned and unaligned stationary perturbation configurations in a composite system of stellar and coplanarly magnetized gaseous singular isothermal discs (SIDs) coupled by gravity. In comparison with SID problems studied earlier, there exist three possible classes of stationary solutions allowed by more dynamic freedoms. Our exact global perturbation solutions and critical points are valuable for testing numerical magnetohydrodynamic codes. For galactic applications, our model analysis contains more realistic elements and offer useful insights for structures and dynamics of disc galaxies consisting of stars and magnetized gas.Comment: 25 pages, 31 figures, accepted by Monthly Notices of Royal Astronomical Society, style files include
