Elements of kinematical and dynamical modeling of elliptical galaxies (Es) are presented. In projection, NFW models resemble Sersic models, but with a very narrow range of shapes (m=3+/-1). The total density profile of Es cannot be NFW-like…
We consider a (sub)diffusion equation with a nonlinearity of the form $pf(u)-qu$, where $p$ and $q$ are space dependent functions. Prominent examples are the Fisher-KPP, the Frank-Kamenetskii-Zeldovich and the Allen-Cahn equations. We…

Stellar radiative zones are typically assumed to be motionless in standard models of stellar structure but there is sound theoretical and observational evidence that this cannot be the case. We investigate by direct numerical simulations a…
