Potential-Density Basis Sets for Galactic Disks
A class of complete potential-density basis sets in cylindrical (R,φ, z) coordinates is presented. This class is suitable for stability studies of galactic disks in three dimensions and includes basis sets tailored for disks with vertical density profiles that are exponential (e−|z|/z0), Gaussian (e−(z/z0) 2 ) or locally isothermal ( sech(z/z0) ). The basis sets are non-discrete and non-biortho...
متن کاملN - body simulations using customised potential - density pair basis sets
Potential-density pair basis sets can be used for highly efficient N-body simulation codes, but they suffer from a lack of versatility, i.e. a basis set has to be constructed for each different class of stellar system. We present numerical techniques for generating a biorthonormal potential-density pair basis set which has a general specified pair as its lowest order member. We go on to demonst...
متن کاملA solution for galactic disks with Yukawian gravitational potential
We present a new solution for the rotation curves of galactic disks with gravitational potential of the Yukawa type. We follow the technique employed by Toomre in 1963 in the study of galactic disks in the Newtonian theory. This new solution allows an easy comparison between the Newtonian solution and the Yukawian one. Therefore, constraints on the parameters of theories of gravitation can be i...
متن کاملFormation of Galactic Disks
We review progress in understanding the formation of galactic disks in the standard cosmogonic scenario involving gravitational clustering of baryons and dark matter and dissipative collapse of the baryons. This scenario accounts remarkably well for the observed properties of galactic disks if they have retained most of the specific angular momentum they acquired by tidal torques. Early simulat...
متن کاملNewly developed basis sets for density functional calculations
Optimized contracted Gaussian basis sets of double-zeta valence polarized (DZVP) quality for first-row transition metals are presented. The DZVP functions were optimized using the PWP86 generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional and the B3LYP hybrid functional. For a careful analysis of the basis sets performance the transition metal atoms and cations excitation energies were calculate...
