Exact equilibria of a stellar system in a linearised tidal field | David G.M. Mitchell

2 Jan 2007 | Abstract: | We study the motion of stars in a star cluster which revolves in a circular orbit about its parent galaxy. The star cluster is modelled as an ellipsoid of uniform spatial density. We exhibit two 2-parameter families of self-consistent equilibrium models in which the velocity at each point is confined to a line in velocity space. We exhibit the link between this problem and that of a uniform rotating ellipsoidal galaxy. With minimal adaptation, Freeman’s bar models yield a third family. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0701044 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
