Resonant Orbits in Triaxial Galaxies
Box orbits in triaxial potentials are generically thin, that is, they lie close in phase space to a resonant orbit satisfying a relation of the form lω1 +mω2 + nω3 = 0 between the three fundamental frequencies. Boxlets are special cases of resonant orbits in which one of the integers (l,m, n) is zero. Resonant orbits are confined for all time to a membrane in configuration space; they play roug...
متن کاملTriaxial Galaxies with Cusps
We have constructed fully self-consistent models of triaxial galaxies with central density cusps. The triaxial generalizations of Dehnen's (1993) spherical mass models are presented, which have densities that vary as r −γ near the center and r −4 at large radii. We computed libraries of ∼ 7000 orbits in each of two triaxial models with γ = 1 (" weak cusp ") and γ = 2 (" strong cusp "); these tw...
متن کاملQuantized orbits and resonant transport
A tight-binding representation of the kicked Harper model is used to obtain an integrable semiclassical Hamiltonian consisting of "quantized" bands of orbits. New bands appear when renormalized Harper parameters exceed integer multiples of pi/2. Orbits with frequencies commensurate with the kicking frequency are shown to correlate with classical accelerator modes in the original kicked problem....
متن کاملA map for eccentric orbits in triaxial potentials
We construct a simple symplectic map to study the dynamics of eccentric orbits in non-spherical potentials. The map offers a dramatic improvement in speed over traditional integration methods, while accurately representing the qualitative details of the dynamics. We focus attention on planar, non-axisymmetric power-law potentials, in particular the logarithmic potential. We confirm the presence...
متن کاملSelf-consistent models of triaxial galaxies in MOND gravity
The Bekenstein-Milgrom gravity theory with a modified Poisson equation is tested here for the existence of triaxial equilibrium solutions. Using the nonnegative least square method, we show that self-consistent triaxial galaxies exist for baryonic models with a mild density cusp ρ ∼ Σ r . Self-consistency is achieved for a wide range of central concentrations, Σ ∼ 10 − 1000M⊙pc , representing l...
