Triaxial Analytical Potential-Density Pairs for Galaxies

arXiv:0705.1622 · doi:10.1093/pasj/59.2.319

Abstract

We present two triaxial analytical potential-density pairs that can be viewed as generalized versions of the axisymmetric Miyamoto and Nagai and Satoh galactic models. These potential-density pairs may be useful models for galaxies with box-shaped bulges. The resulting mass density distributions are everywhere non-negative and free from singularities. Also, a few numerically calculated orbits for the Miyamoto and Nagai-like triaxial potential are presented.
