In this paper, we study a family of two-component anisotropic polytropes which model a wide range of spherically symmetric astrophysical systems such as early-type baryonic galaxies. This family is found to contain a large class of models…
Simple analytical models, such as the Hernquist model, are very useful tools to investigate the dynamical structure of galaxies. Unfortunately, most of the analytical distribution functions are either isotropic or of the Osipkov-Merritt…

Assuming the separable augmented density, it is always possible to construct a distribution function of a spherical population with any given density and anisotropy. We consider under what conditions the distribution constructed as such is…
We apply four different mass modelling methods to a suite of publicly available mock data for spherical stellar systems. We focus on the recovery of the density and velocity anisotropy as a function of radius, using either line-of-sight…
In weakly collisional stellar systems such as some globular clusters, partial energy equipartition and mass segregation are expected to develop as a result of the cumulative effect of stellar encounters even in systems initially…
This paper presents several results about isotropic random walks and multiple scattering processes on hyperspheres ${\mathbb S}^{p-1}$. It allows one to derive the Fourier expansions on ${\mathbb S}^{p-1}$ of these processes. A result of…

Starting from the central density slope-anisotropy theorem of An and Evans (2006), recent investigations have shown that the involved density slope-anisotropy inequality holds not only at the center, but at all radii (i.e. globally) in a…
