We present a novel explanation of the well known $M_{\bullet}-\sigma$ relation. In a triaxial potential binaries with chaotic orbits within a sphere that encompass $\sim100$ times the mass of the super-massive black-hole (SMBH) have a…
We present a family of spherical models for elliptical galaxies and bulges consisting of a stellar component and a central black hole. All models in this family share the same stellar density profile, which has a steep central cusp. The…
We construct numerical models of mildly triaxial elliptical galaxies with central density cusps. Using a technique we call ``adiabatic squeezing'', we begin with a spherical gamma=1 Hernquist model and apply a drag to the velocities of the…
We study the behavior of orbits in two different galactic dynamical models, describing the motion in the central parts of a triaxial elliptical galaxy with a dense nucleus. Numerical experiments show that both models display regular motion…
A family of triaxial St\"ackel potential-density pairs is introduced. With the help of a Quadratic Programming method, a linear combination of potential-density pairs of this family which fits a given projected density distribution can be…
Popular models for describing the luminosity-density profiles of dynamically hot stellar systems (e.g., Jaffe, Hernquist, Dehnen) were constructed to match the deprojected form of de Vaucouleurs' $R^{1/4}$ light-profile. However, we now…
Binary galaxies are modeled as point-masses obeying the non-Newtonian MOND and Mannheim-Kazanas (MKG) theories of gravity. Random samples of such systems are generated by means of Monte Carlo simulations of binary orbits. Model pairs have…
Recent studies have presented evidence that the Milky Way global potential may be nonspherical. In this case, the assembling process of the Galaxy may have left long lasting stellar halo kinematic fossils due to the shape of the dark matter…
We demonstrate that the nuclei of galaxies containing supermassive black holes can be triaxial in shape. Schwarzschild's method was first used to construct self-consistent orbital superpositions representing nuclei with axis ratios of…
We continue our analysis of the general N-Higgs-doublet model and focus of the Higgs potential description in the space of gauge orbits. We develop a geometric technique that allows us to study the global minimum of the potential without…
Triaxial dynamical models of massive galaxies observed in the ATLAS3D project can provide new insights into the complex evolutionary processes that shape galaxies. The ATLAS3D survey is ideal as the sample comprises a good mix of fast and…
We catalogue and study three-Higgs-doublet models in terms of all possible allowed symmetries (continuous and discrete, Abelian and non-Abelian), where such symmetries may be identified as flavour symmetries of quarks and leptons. We…
The present article includes the enumeration of $n$-polygons with two certain symmetry properties: For a number $3m$ of vertices, we count the $3m$-polygons with $m$ symmetry axes and the $3m$-polygons, that match after three elementary…
We construct three dimensional axisymmetric, cuspy density distributions, whose potentials are of St\"ackel form in parabolic coordinates. As in Sridhar and Touma (1997), a black hole of arbitrary mass may be added at the centre, without…
A three-component Stackel model of the Galaxy, including the bulge, disk, and halo, is constructed. Parameter estimates of the potential are obtained as a result of fitting the model rotation curve to azimuthal velocities found from data on…
We report on the discovery of two potential polar ring galaxies (PRGs) in the WALLABY Pilot Data Release 1 (PDR1). These untargetted detections, cross-matched to NGC 4632 and NGC 6156, are some of the first galaxies where the Hi…
A statistical field theory of particle production is presented using a gaussian functional in three dimensions. Identifying the field with the particle density fluctuation results in zero correlations of order three and higher, while the…
We present new equilibrium component distribution functions that depend on three analytic integrals in a Stackel potential, and that can be used to model stellar discs of galaxies. These components are generalizations of two-integral ones…
We present measurements of bias triangles in several biasing configurations. Thorough analysis of the data allows us to present data from all four possible bias configurations on a single plot in chemical potential space. This presentation…
The face-on projected density profile of the Miyamoto & Nagai disks of arbitrary flattening is obtained analytically in terms of incomplete elliptic integrals of first and second type, by using two complementary approaches, and then checked…
