From kinematics to dynamics in thin galactic disks
We present a method for recovering the distribution functions of edge-on thin axisymmetric disks directly from their observable kinematic properties. The most generally observable properties of such a stellar system are the line-of-sight velocity distributions of the stars at different projected radii along the galaxy. If the gravitational potential is known, then the general two-integral distr...
متن کاملGalactic kinematics & dynamics from RAVE stars 3
We analyse the kinematics of ∼ 400 000 stars for which the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) has obtained spectra. These stars, half giants and half dwarfs, mostly lie within 2.5 kpc of the Sun. We decompose the sample into hot and cold dwarfs, red-clump and non-clump giants. The kinematics of the clump giants are consistent with being identical with those of the giants as a whole. Without binn...
متن کاملGalactic kinematics with modified Newtonian dynamics
We look for observational signatures that could discriminate between Newtonian and modified Newtonian (MOND) dynamics in the Milky Way, in view of the advent of large astrometric and spectroscopic surveys. Indeed, a typical signature of MOND is an apparent disk of “phantom” dark matter, which is uniquely correlated with the visible disk-density distribution. Due to this phantom dark disk, Newto...
متن کاملStar formation in accretion discs : from the Galactic Center to Active Galactic Nuclei
Context. Keplerian accretion discs around massive black holes (MBHs) are gravitationally unstable beyond a few hundredths of parsec and should collapse to form stars. It was indeed shown recently that an accretion/star formation episode took place a few millions years ago in the Galactic Center (GC). This raises the question of how the disc can survive in AGN and quasars and continue to transpo...
متن کاملGalaxies: from Kinematics to Dynamics
As will be apparent to anyone reading this book, the practitioners of N-body simulations have an enormous variety of preoccupations. Some are essentially pure mathematicians, who view the field as an exciting application for abstruse theory. Others enjoy formulating and tackling mathematically-neat problems, with little concern over whether the particular restrictions that they impose are also ...
