A family of potential-density pairs for galactic bars
arXiv:2210.14853 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stac3124
Abstract
We present a family of analytical potential-density pairs for barred discs, which can be combined to describe galactic bars in a realistic way, including boxy/peanut components. We illustrate this with two reasonable compound models. Computer code for the evaluation of potential, forces, density, and projected density is freely provided.
