We present an estimate of the third integral of motion for axisymmetric three-dimensional potentials. This estimate is based on a Staeckel approximation and is explicitly written as a function of the potential. We tested this scheme for the…
A phase-space distribution function of the steady state in galaxy models that admits regular orbits overall in the phase-space can be represented by a function of three action variables. This type of distribution function in Galactic models…
We measure the Galactic rotation curve and its first two vertical derivatives in the first and fourth quadrants of the Milky Way using the 21 cm VGPS and SGPS. We find tangent velocities of the atomic gas as a function of galactic longitude…

The Galaxy's stellar halo seems to be a tangle of disrupted systems that have been tidally stretched out into streams. Each stream approximately delineates an orbit in the Galactic force-field. In the first paper in this series we showed…

A general relation is derived for the action difference between two fixed points and a phase space area bounded by the irreducible component of a heteroclinic tangle. The determination of this area can require accurate calculation of…

Action chunking is a widely adopted approach in Learning from Demonstration (LfD). By modeling multi-step action chunks rather than single-step actions, action chunking significantly enhances modeling capabilities for human expert policies.…
