We study the dynamics of a twisted tilted disc under the influence of an external radiation field. Assuming the effect of absorption and reemission/scattering is that a pressure is applied to the disc surface where the local optical depth is of order unity, we determine the response of the vertical structure and the influence it has on the possibility of instability to warping. We derive a pair of equations describing the evolution of a small tilt as a function of radius in the small amplitude regime that applies to both the diffusive and bending wave regimes. We also study the non linear vertical response of the disc numerically using an analogous one dimensional slab model. For global warps, we find that in order for the disc vertical structure to respond as a quasi uniform shift or tilt, as has been assumed in previous work, the product of the ratio of the external radiation momentum flux to the local disc mid plane pressure, where it is absorbed, with the disc aspect ratio should be significantly less than unity. Namely, this quantity should be of the order of or smaller than the ratio of the disc gas density corresponding to the layer intercepting radiation to the mid plane density, $lambda ll 1$. When this condition is not satisfied the disc surface tends to adjust so that the local normal becomes perpendicular to the radiation propagation direction. In this case dynamical quantities determined by the disc twist and warp tend to oscillate with a large characteristic period $T_{*}sim lambda^{-1}T_{K}$, where $T_{K}$ is some typical orbital period of a gas element in the disc. The possibility of warping instability then becomes significantly reduced. In addition, when the vertical response is non uniform, the possible production of shocks may lead to an important dissipation mechanism.

We investigate misaligned accretion discs formed after tidal disruption events that occur when a star encounters a supermassive black hole. We employ the linear theory of warped accretion discs to find the shape of a disc for which the stream arising
from the disrupted star provides a source of angular momentum that is misaligned with that of the black hole. For quasi-steady configurations we find that when the warp diffusion or propagation time is large compared to the local mass accretion time and/or the natural disc alignment radius is small, misalignment is favoured. These results have been verified using SPH simulations. We also simulated 1D model discs including gas and radiation pressure. As accretion rates initially exceed the Eddington limit the disc is initially advection dominated. Assuming the $alpha$ model for the disc, where it can be thermally unstable it subsequently undergoes cyclic transitions between high and low states. During these transitions the aspect ratio varies from $sim 1$ to $sim 10^{-3}$ which is reflected in changes in the degree of disc misalignment at the stream impact location. For maximal black hole rotation and sufficiently large values of viscosity parameter $alpha > sim 0.01-0.1$ the ratio of the disc inclination to that of the initial stellar orbit is estimated to be $0.1-0.2$ in the advection dominated state, while reaching of order unity in the low state. Misalignment descreases with decrease of $alpha$, but increases as the black hole rotation parameter decreases. Thus, it is always significant when the latter is small.
We consider misaligned accretion discs formed after tidal disruption events occurring when a star encounters a supermassive rotating black hole. We use the linear theory of warped accretion discs to find the disc shape when the stream produced by the
disrupted star provides a source of mass and angular momentum that is misaligned with the black hole. The evolution of the surface density and aspect ratio is found from a one dimensional vertically averaged model. We extend previous work which assumed a quasi-stationary disc to allow unrestricted dynamical propagation of disc tilt and twist through time dependent backgrounds. We consider a smaller value of the viscosity parameter, $alpha =0.01,$ finding the dynamics varies significantly. At early times the disc inclination is found to be nearly uniform at small radii where the aspect ratio is large. However, since torques arise from the Lense-Thirring effect and the stream there is non uniform precession. We propose a simple model for this requiring only the background surface density and aspect ratio. At these times the $alpha sim 0.01$ disc exhibits a new feature. An inclined hot inner region joins an outer low inclination cool region via a thin transition front propagating outwards with a speed exceeding that of bending waves in the cool region. These waves accumulate where the propagation speeds match producing an inclination spike separating inner and outer discs. At late times a sequence of quasi-stationary configurations approximates disc shapes at small radii. We discuss observational implications of our results.
We provide a comprehensive theoretical framework for describing the dynamics of a single trapped ion interacting with a neutral buffer gas, thus extending our previous studies on buffer-gas cooling of ions beyond the critical mass ratio [B. Holtkemei
er et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 233003 (2016)]. By transforming the collisional processes into a frame, where the ions micromotion is assigned to the buffer gas atoms, our model allows one to investigate the influence of non-homogeneous buffer gas configurations as well as higher multipole orders of the radio-frequency trap in great detail. Depending on the neutral-to-ion mass ratio, three regimes of sympathetic cooling are identified which are characterized by the form of the ions energy distribution in equilibrium. We provide analytic expressions and numerical simulations of the ions energy distribution, spatial profile and cooling rates for these different regimes. Based on these findings, a method for actively decreasing the ions energy by reducing the spatial expansion of the buffer gas arises (Forced Sympathetic Cooling).
We study line driven winds for models with different radial intensity profiles: standard Shakura-Sunyaev radiating thin discs, uniform intensity discs and truncated discs where driving radiation is cutoff at some radius. We find that global outflow p
roperties depend primarily on the total system luminosity but truncated discs can launch outflows with $sim 2$ times higher mass flux and $sim 50%$ faster outflow velocity than non-truncated discs with the same total radiation flux. Streamlines interior to the truncation radius are largely unaffected and carry the same momentum flux as non-truncated models whereas those far outside the truncation radius effectively carry no outflow because the local radiation force is too weak to lift matter vertically away from the disc. Near the truncation radius the flow becomes more radial, due to the loss of pressure/radiation support from gas/radiation at larger radii. These models suggest that line driven outflows are sensitive to the geometry of the radiation field driving them, motivating the need for self-consistent disc/wind models.
An exact reduced dynamical map along with its operator sum representation is derived for a central spin interacting with a thermal spin environment. The dynamics of the central spin shows high sustainability of quantum traits such as coherence and en
tanglement in the low-temperature regime. However, for sufficiently high temperature and when the number of bath particles approaches the thermodynamic limit, this feature vanishes and the dynamics closely mimics Markovian evolution. The properties of the long-time-averaged state and the trapped information of the initial state for the central qubit are also investigated in detail, confirming that the nonergodicity of the dynamics can be attributed to the finite temperature and finite size of the bath. It is shown that if a certain stringent resonance condition is satisfied, the long-time-averaged state retains quantum coherence, which can have far reaching technological implications in engineering quantum devices. An exact time-local master equation of the canonical form is derived. With the help of this master equation, the nonequilibrium properties of the central spin system are studied by investigating the detailed balance condition and irreversible entropy production rate. The result reveals that the central qubit thermalizes only in the limit of very high temperature and large number of bath spins.
