Efficient expansions of the gravitational field of (dark) haloes have two main uses in the modelling of galaxies: first, they provide a compact representation of numerically-constructed (or real) cosmological haloes, incorporating the…
We use the weighted integral form of spherical Bessel functions, and introduce a new analytical set of complete and biorthogonal potential--density basis functions. The potential and density functions of the new set have finite central…
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…
We show how to develop an expansion of nearly oblate systems in terms of a set of potential-density pairs. A harmonic (multipole) structure is imposed on the potential set at infinity, and the density can be made everywhere regular. We…
Galaxy kinematics and gravitational lensing are two complementary ways to constrain the distribution of dark matter on galaxy scales. The typical dark matter density profiles adopted in dynamical studies cannot easily be adopted in lensing…
We investigate the ability of basis function expansions to reproduce the evolution of a Milky Way-like dark matter halo, extracted from a cosmological zoom-in simulation. For each snapshot, the density of the halo is reduced to a basis…
We explore a function with two shape parameters for the dark-matter halo density profile subject to baryonic effects, which is a special case of the general Zhao family of models applied to simulated dark matter haloes by Dekel et al. This…
The series expansion formulae are established for the one- and two-center charge densities over complete orthonormal sets of exponential type orbitals introduced by the author. Three-center overlap integrals of appearing in these relations…
We develop a Bayesian framework for estimation and prediction of dynamic models for observations from the two-parameter exponential family. Different link functions are introduced to model both the mean and the precision in the exponential…
We introduce two-parameter classes of exactly-solvable novel systems whose Hamiltonian operators could be represented by tridiagonal symmetric matrices in some orthogonal bases. The associated wavefunction is written as point-wise…
A set of bi-orthogonal potential-density basis functions is introduced to model the density and its associated gravitational field of three dimensional stellar systems. Radial components of our basis functions are weighted integral forms of…
We present a new density-matrix functional within the recently introduced framework for tensor-product expansions of the two-particle density matrix. It performs well both for the homogeneous electron gas as well as atoms. For the…
The density-matrix rho(r, r') of a spherically symmetric system can be expanded as a Fourier-Legendre series of Legendre polynomials Pl(cos(theta) = r.r'/rr'). Application is here made to harmonically trapped electron pairs (i.e.…
We start from a study of the density-potential relation for classical homeoids in terms of an asymptotic expansion for small deviations from spherical symmetry. We then show that such expansion is a useful device that allows us to construct…
Fourier series solutions to the deflection and magnification by a family of three-dimensional cusped two power-law ellipsoidal mass distributions are presented. The cusped two power-law ellipsoidal mass distributions are characterized by…
An analytic galaxy model with $\rho \sim r^{-1}$ at small radii and $\rho \sim r^{-3.5}$ at large radii is presented. The asymptotic density fall-off is slower than the Hernquist model, but faster than the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile…
Various analytic expressions have been proposed for the density profile of dark matter halos. We consider six of these expressions for which the density profile has a power-law fall-off rho proportional to r^{-3} at large radii and a…
This paper provides a systematic study of renormalization in models of halo biasing. Building on work of McDonald, we show that Eulerian biasing is only consistent with renormalization if non-local terms and higher-derivative contributions…
We present an analytic model for the fully nonlinear power spectrum P and bispectrum Q of the cosmological mass density field. The model is based on physical properties of dark matter halos, with the three main model inputs being analytic…
Cosmological models with different types of Dark Energy are becoming viable alternatives for standard models with the cosmological constant. Yet, such models are more difficult to analyze and to simulate. We present analytical…
