Dynamics of Triaxial Stellar Systems
Recent work on the dynamics of triaxial stellar systems is reviewed. The motion of boxlike orbits in realistic triaxial potentials is generically stochastic. The degree to which the stochasticity manifests itself in the dynamics depends on the chaotic mixing timescale, which is a small multiple of the crossing time in triaxial models with steep cusps or massive central singularities. Low-lumino...
متن کاملRegular and Chaotic Dynamics of Triaxial Stellar Systems
We use Laskar’s frequency mapping technique to study the dynamics of triaxial galaxies with central density cusps and nuclear black holes. For ensembles of ∼ 10 orbits, we numerically compute the three fundamental frequencies of the motion, allowing us to map out the Arnold web. We also compute diffusion rates of stochastic orbits in frequency space. The objects of fundamental importance in str...
متن کاملRespiratory gas exchange using a triaxial alveolar gas diagram.
A triaxial alveolar gas diagram to depict fractional concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen is described, in which the R = 1 line is always implicit. Although it is not claimed that this representation leads to new insights into respiratory physiology, a method of plotting on a triaxial coordinate system has been found to be well suited to many applications when a direct display o...
متن کاملChaos and Mixing in Triaxial Stellar Systems
We investigate the timescales for stochasticity and chaotic mixing in a family of triaxial potentials that mimic the distribution of light in elliptical galaxies. Some of the models include central point masses designed to represent nuclear black holes. Most of the boxlike orbits are found to be stochastic, with mean Liapunov times that are 3 − 6 times the period of the long-axis orbit. In mode...
متن کاملAn Instability in Triaxial Stellar Systems
The radial-orbit instability is a collective phenomenon that has heretofore only been observed in spherical systems. We find that this instability occurs also in triaxial systems, as we checked by performing extensive N -body simulations whose initial conditions were obtained by sampling a self-consistent triaxial model of a cuspy galaxy composed of luminous and dark matter. N -body simulations...
