Massive stars exhibit a variety of instabilities, many of which are poorly understood. We explore instabilities induced by centrifugal forces and angular momentum transport in massive rotating stars. First, we derive and numerically solve…
A comparative analysis of the dynamics of the orbital motion (regular or chaotic) of 45 globular clusters in the central region of the Galaxy with a radius of 3.5 kpc is carried out. The static and evolving (based on the semi-analytical…
We develop a method for recovering the global density distribution of the ancient Galactic stellar halo prior to disk formation, based on the present orbits of metal-poor stars observed in the solar neighborhood. The method relies on the…
The statistical properties of the ellipticities of galaxy images depend on how galaxies form and evolve, and therefore constrain models of galaxy morphology, which are key to the removal of the intrinsic alignment contamination of…
In this paper, two models of interest for Celestial Mechanics are presented and analysed, using both analytic and numerical techniques, from the point of view of the possible presence of regular and/or chaotic motion, as well as the…
A kinematical analysis applied to a sample of galaxy clusters indicates that the differences between the velocity distribution of elliptical and spiral galaxies are associated with the shape of their orbit families. The orbital anisotropies…
The authors of the article set out to investigate the motion of Globular Star Clusters (GCs) of the Milky Way relative to the plane and center of the Galaxy. For this study, we used data from 164 Galactic Globular Clusters derived from…
The analysis of gravitational wave data may require greater accuracy than is afforded by the adiabatic approximation to the trajectory of and field produced by a particle moving in curved spacetime. Higher accuracy is available with a…
We broaden the investigation of the dynamical properties of tidally perturbed, rotating star clusters by relaxing the traditional assumptions of coplanarity, alignment, and synchronicity between the internal and orbital angular velocity…
The predictions from a Galactic Structure and Kinematic model code are compared to the color counts and absolute proper-motions derived from the Southern Proper-Motion survey covering more than 700 $\deg^2$ toward the South Galactic Pole in…
We analyse the stellar content of almost 300 deg^2 of the sky close to the Galactic plane by directly comparing the predictions of the SKY model (Cohen 1994,1995; Wainscoat et al. 1992) with star counts taken from the Two Micron Galactic…
We have used a set of equations developed by Pringle (1992) to follow the evolution of a viscous twisted disk in a galaxy-like potential which is stationary or tumbling relative to inertial space. In an axisymmetric potential, the disk…
Stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet's orbital axis and its host star's spin axis, traces the formation and evolution of a planetary system. In transiting exoplanet observations, only the sky-projected stellar obliquity can be…
We study the mixing length concept in comparison to three-dimensional numerical calculations of convection with rotation. In a limited range, the velocity and temperature fluctuations are linearly proportional to the superadiabaticity, as…
We derive a simple, closed form expression for the potential of a thin exponential disk of stars interacting through gravitational potentials of the form $V(r)=-\beta /r+\gamma r/2$, the potential associated with fundamental sources in the…
One of the most reliable means of studying the stellar interior is through the apsidal motion in double line eclipsing binary systems since these systems present errors in masses, radii, and effective temperatures of only a few per cent. On…
I present three methods to determine the distance to the Galactic centre R0, the solar azimuthal velocity in the Galactic rest frame Vg,\odot and hence the local circular speed Vc at R0. These simple, model-independent strategies reduce the…
We present the results of modelling the subgiant star $\beta$ Hydri using the seismic observational constraints. We have computed several grids of stellar evolutionary tracks using Aarhus STellar Evolution Code (ASTEC,…
Motions of stars in close binary systems with a conservative mass exchange are examined. It is shown that Paczynski-Huang model widely used now for obtaining the semi-major axis variation of a relative stars orbit is incorrect, because it…
We investigate differential rotation in rapidly rotating solar-type stars by means of an axisymmetric mean field model that was previously applied to the sun. This allows us to calculate the latitudinal entropy gradient with a rea- sonable…
