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…

Since the Hipparcos mission and recent large scale surveys in the optical and the near-infrared, new constraints have been obtained on the structure and evolution history of the Milky Way. The population synthesis approach is a useful tool…
We present RoadMapping, a full-likelihood dynamical modelling machinery that aims to recover the Milky Way's (MW) gravitational potential from large samples of stars in the Galactic disk. RoadMapping models the observed positions and…
The Milky Way is made up of a central bar, a disk with embedded spiral arms, and a dark matter halo. Observational and theoretical constraints for the characteristic parameters of these components will be presented, with emphasis on the…

Our Galaxy - the Milky Way - has certain features of the structure and evolution. The morphological, photometric, kinematic, and chemodynamical properties are usually considered in the search for the Milky Way galaxies-analogues (MWAs). The…
The Ks band differential star count of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) is used to derive the global structure parameters of the smooth components of the Milky Way. To avoid complication introduced by other fine structures and…
Aims. Galaxy mass models based on simple and analytical functions for the density and potential pairs have been widely proposed in the literature. Disk models constrained by kinematic data alone give information on the global disk structure…

We present a method to constrain the potential of the non-axisymmetric components of the Galaxy using the kinematics of stars in the solar neighborhood. The basic premise is that dynamical substructures in phase-space (i.e. due to the bar…
Context. Recent observational data show that the Milky Way (MW) galaxy contains about 170 globular clusters (GCs). A fraction of them is likely formed in dwarf galaxies accreted onto the MW in the past, while the remaining of clusters are…
Without our ability to model and manipulate the band structure of semiconducting materials, the modern digital computer would be impractically large, hot, and expensive. In the undergraduate QM curriculum, we studied the effect of spatially…
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 a 3D N-body simulation of the Milky Way including 4*10^5 star- and dark-like particles and 2*10^4 gas particles, initially distributed according to an axisymmetric, observationally constrained, mass model. The whole system is…
Understanding the 3D structure of the Milky Way is a crucial step in deriving properties of the star-forming regions, as well as the Galaxy as a whole. We present a novel 3D map of the Milky Way plane that extends to 10 kpc distance from…
We analytically evaluate the expectation value of a baryonic Wilson loop in a holographic model of an SU(3) pure gauge theory. We then discuss three aspects of a static three-quark potential: an aspect of universality which concerns…
We introduce a novel method that utilizes the longitude-velocity (l-v) envelope to constrain the Milky Way (MW) bar potential. Previous work (Habing 2016) used the l-v diagram to explain the distribution of the observed high-velocity stars.…
