The reflex instability: exponential growth of a large-scale $m=1$ mode in astrophysical discs

We report the finding of a linear, non-axisymmetric, global instability in gas discs around stars, which may be relevant to other astrophysical discs. It takes the form of an $m = 1$ mode that grows in the disc density distribution while the star-barycentre distance rises exponentially with a charac...
