Disks Controlling Chaos in a 3d Dynamical Model for Elliptical Galaxies
A 3D dynamical model with a quasi-homogeneous core and a disk component is used for the chaos control in the central parts of elliptical galaxy. Numerical experiments in the 2D system show a very complicated phase plane with a large chaotic sea, considerable sticky layers and a large number of islands, produced by secondary resonances. When the mass of the disk increases, the chaotic regions de...
متن کاملLarge stellar disks in small elliptical galaxies
We present the rotation velocities V and velocity dispersions σ along the principal axes of seven elliptical galaxies less luminous than MB = −19.5. These kinematics extend beyond the half-light radii for all systems in this photometrically selected sample. At large radii the kinematics not only confirm that rotation and “diskiness” are important in faint ellipticals, as was previously known, b...
متن کاملThe Formation of Disks in Elliptical Galaxies
We investigate detailed kinematical properties of simulated collisionless merger remnants of disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1 and 3:1. The simulations were performed by direct summation using the new special hardware device GRAPE-5. In agreement with observations, the shape of the line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD) is Gaussian with small deviations. For most cases we find that the...
متن کاملDynamical Masses of Elliptical Galaxies
Recent progress in the dynamical analysis of elliptical galaxy kinematics is reviewed. Results reported briefly include (i) the surprisingly uniform anisotropy structure of luminous ellipticals, (ii) their nearly flat (to ∼ 2Re) circular velocity curves, (iii) the Tully-Fisher and M/L − L relations and the connection to the Fundamental Plane, and (iv) the large halo mass densities implied by th...
متن کاملChaos and the Shapes of Elliptical Galaxies
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations reveal that the density of stars in most elliptical galaxies rises toward the center in a power-law cusp. Many of these galaxies also contain central dark objects, possibly supermassive black holes. The gravitational force from a steep cusp or black hole will destroy most of the box orbits that constitute the " backbone " of a triaxial stellar system. D...
