Abstract
ABSTRACT We explore the interplay between in-plane and vertical dynamics in stellar discs within the framework of the shearing box approximation. Julian and Toomre used the shearing sheet to show that leading density waves are amplified as they swing into trailing ones. We extend their formalism into the dimension perpendicular to the disc to obtain explicit solutions for the disc’s response to an impulsive, external excitation. An excitation that is symmetric about the mid-plane produces a density/breathing wave as well as two-armed phase spirals in the vertical phase space plane. On the other hand, an excitation that is antisymmetric about the mid-plane leads to a bending wave and single-armed phase spirals. In either case, self-gravity plays a crucial role in driving the evolution of the disturbance and determining the amplitude and pitch angle of the ensuing spirals. We also show that when the disc is excited by a co-rotating cloud, it develops stationary phase spirals in the wake of the cloud. The results call into question simple kinematic arguments that have been used to determine the age of the phase spirals seen in the Gaia survey.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
