Potential-Density Basis Sets for Galactic Disks
نویسنده
چکیده
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-biorthogonal; however, the extra numerical computations required (compared with discrete biorthogonal sets) are explained and constitute a small overhead. The method of construction (and proof of completeness) is simple and can be used to construct basis sets for other density distributions that are best described in circular or elliptic cylindrical coordinates. When combined with a basis set designed for spheroidal systems, the basis sets presented here can be used to study the stability of realistic disks embedded in massive halos.

Equilibrium Initialization and Stability of Three-Dimensional Gas Disks
We present a new systematic way of setting up galactic gas disks based on the assumption of detailed hydrodynamic equilibrium. To do this, we need to specify the density distribution and the velocity field which supports the disk. We first show that the required circular velocity has no dependence on the height above or below the midplane so long as the gas pressure is a function of density onl...
متن کاملNumerical linear stability analysis of round galactic disks
The method originally developed by Kalnajs for the numerical linear stability analysis of round galactic disks is implemented in the regimes of non-analytic transformations between position space and angle-action space, and of vanishing growth rates. This allows effectively any physically plausible disk to be studied, rather than only those having analytic transformations into angle-action spac...

Intermolecular potential energy surface (IPS) for protein — protein has been examined using RHF, DFT-B3LYPand MP2 levels of theory with 6-31G, 6-31G* basis sets. A number of basis sets were used in order to evaluatethe basis set effects, at all three levels of theory, basis sets has significant effects on the calculated potentialenergy curves (including position, depth and width of the potentia...
متن کاملDensity Structure of the Interstellar Medium and the Star Formation Rate in Galactic Disks
The probability distribution functions (PDF) of density of the interstellar medium (ISM) in galactic disks and global star formation rate are discussed. Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations show that the PDFs in globally stable, inhomogeneous ISM in galactic disks are well fitted by a single lognormal function over a wide density range. The dispersion of the log-normal PDF (LN-PDF) is lar...

We have performed quantum-chemical ab initio in various basis sets at the Hartree-Fock andB3LYP levels for Adenine and Thymine with the program GAUSSIAN98. The Dipole,Quadrupole, Octapole and Hexadecapole moments and primitive in nine basis sets for thesemolecules are presented. The most stabilized forms of these molecules are observed in 6-311++G** basis set. We have evaluated coefficient hybr...
