Dynamical models and Galaxy surveys
James Binney, Jason L Sanders
Equilibrium dynamical models are essential tools for extracting science from surveys of our Galaxy. We show how models can be tested with data from a survey before the survey's sel…

Stream-orbit misalignment II: A new algorithm to constrain the Galactic potential
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
In the first of these two papers we demonstrated that assuming streams delineate orbits can lead to order one errors in potential parameters for realistic Galactic potentials. Moti…

Stream-orbit misalignment I: The dangers of orbit-fitting
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
Tidal streams don't, in general, delineate orbits. A stream-orbit misalignment is expected to lead to biases when using orbit-fitting to constrain models for the Galactic potential…
