When injecting spin-polarized currents into magnetic discs, both spin torque and Oersted fields can manipulate magnetic vortex structures. The Oersted field contribution due to the inhomogeneous current distribution in the magnetic vortex core structure is experimentally determined by using a homodyne detection scheme. We find that the amplitude of the vortex core gyration increases for vortices located close to the current injection contacts due to the enhancement of the Oersted field contribution. From systematic phase measurements as a function of microwave frequency, two remarkable phenomena are observed: (i) the trajectory of the vortex core gyration is distorted by the interaction with the disc edge leading to non-linear oscillations (ii) the interplay between spin torque and Oersted field depends sensitively on the exact vortex core position.
