On evolution of self-gravitating toroidal vortex

The evolution and collapse of a gas self-gravitating toroidal vortex are considered. The thin vortex is shown to first contract along the small radius to a quasi equilibrium condition, then the slowerlarge-radius contraction to a compact vortex object follows. This latter reveals the capability of f...
