Simple Distribution Functions for Stellar Disks
Distribution functions (DFs) for dynamically warm thin stellar disks residing in arbitrary axisymmetric potentials are presented which approximately reproduce pre-described surface-density and velocity-dispersion profiles. The functional form of the DFs is obtained by ‘warming-up’ a model made entirely of circular orbits. This can be done in various ways giving different functional forms for th...
متن کاملStellar Velocity Distribution in Galactic Disks
We present numerical studies of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution in galactic disks which have developed a saturated, two-armed spiral structure. In previous papers we used the Boltzmann moment equations (BME) up to second order for our studies of the velocity structure in self-gravitating stellar disks. A key assumption of our BME approach is the zero-heat flux approximation,...
متن کاملTruncations in stellar disks
Stellar disks in edge-on spiral galaxies have been known to have –at least in some cases– rather sharp edges or truncations (van der Kruit 1979). These are obvious when examining isophote maps in which the outer isophotes in the radial direction come suddenly much closer together (see Fig. 1). The reality of the truncations can also be inferred from the fact that the fainter isophotes of bright...
متن کاملA simple model for accretion disks in the post-Newtonian approximation
p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }a:link { } In this paper, the evolution of accretion disks in the post-Newtonian limit has been investigated. These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework o...
متن کاملNon parametric reconstruction of distribution functions from observed galactic disks
A general inversion technique for the recovery of the underlying distribution function for observed galactic disks is presented and illustrated. Under the assumption that these disks are axi-symmetric and thin, the proposed method yields the unique distribution compatible with all the observables available. The derivation may be carried out from the measurement of the azimuthal velocity distrib...
