Figure 1: Density wave perturbation in the disk caused by the free wave propagation for the azimuthal mode m=2. Some examples are shown for different eigenvalues and for Newtonian geometry, on the left, as well as for Schwarzschild geometry, on the right. The vertical bar indicates the location of the inner Lindblad resonance. The normalization of the eigenfunctions is arbitrary. |
