We present dynamical distribution functions for evolved stars in the inner galactic plane. We use an axisymmetric, two-component Stackel potential that satisfies recent constraints on the galactic potential, amongst others a slightly…
In this work, two new axisymmetric models for the Galactic mass distribution are presented. Motivated by recent results, these two models include the contribution of a stellar thin disc and of a thick disc, as massive as the thin…
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 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…
A method is presented for finding anisotropic distribution functions for stellar systems with known, spherically symmetric, densities, which depends only on the two classical integrals of the energy and the magnitude of the angular…
Some formulae are presented for finding two-integral distribution functions (DFs) which depends only on the two classical integrals of the energy and the magnitude of the angular momentum with respect to the axis of symmetry for stellar…
Using a new algorithm for estimating the actions of orbits a parametrised distribution function is automatically fitted to observational data for the solar neighbourhood. We adopt a gravitational potential that is generated by three discs…
Astrophysical discs which are sufficiently massive and cool are linearly unstable to the formation of axisymmetric structures. In practice, linearly stable discs of surface density slightly below the threshold needed for this instability…
We present here a self-consistent, tridimensional model of a disc galaxy composed by a number of ellipsoidal distributions of matter having different flattening and density profile. The model is self-consistent and takes into account the…
We present a method for recovering the distribution functions of edge-on thin axisymmetric disks directly from their observable kinematic properties. The most generally observable properties of such a stellar system are the line-of-sight…
We present the derivation of distribution functions for the first four members of a family of disks, previously obtained in (MNRAS, 371, 1873, 2006), which represent a family of axially symmetric galaxy models with finite radius and well…
We present new analytical distribution functions for anisotropic spherical galaxies. They have the density profiles of the gamma-models, which allow a wide range of central density slopes, and are widely used to fit elliptical galaxies and…
Context: The modelling of stationary galactic stellar populations can be performed using distribution functions. Aims: This paper aims to write explicit integrals of motion and distribution functions. Methods: We propose an analytic…
A general method is presented for constructing distribution functions for flat systems whose surface density and Toomre's Q number profile is given. The purpose of these functions is to provide plausible galactic models and assess their…
The velocity distribution of neighbouring stars is deduced from the Hipparcos proper motions. We have used a classical Schwarzschild decomposition and also developed a dynamical model for quasi-exponential stellar discs. This model is a 3-D…
We introduce a class of eccentric discs with "strong" density cusps whose potentials are of St\"ackel form in elliptic coordinates. Our models exhibit some striking features: sufficiently close to the location of the cusp, the potential and…
We describe an improved, practical method for constructing galaxy models that match an arbitrary set of observational constraints, without prior assumptions about the phase-space distribution function (DF). Our method is an extension of…
A simple numerical scheme is presented for the construction of three-integral phase-space distribution functions for oblate galaxy models with a gravitational potential of St\"{a}ckel form, and an arbitrary axisymmetric luminous density…
The Jeans equations give the second moments or stresses required to support a stellar population against the gravity field. A general solution of the Jeans equations for arbitrary axisymmetric scale-free densities in flattened scale-free…
We use a set of Stackel potentials to obtain a local approximation for an effective third integral in axisymmetric systems. We present a study on the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach. We have applied it to three trial…
