A fast algorithm for estimating actions in triaxial potentials
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
We present an approach to approximating rapidly the actions in a general triaxial potential. The method is an extension of the axisymmetric approach presented by Binney (2012), and…

Probabilistic model for constraining the Galactic potential using tidal streams
Jason L. Sanders
We present a generative probabilistic model for a tidal stream and demonstrate how this model is used to constrain the Galactic potential. The model takes advantage of the simple s…

Actions, angles and frequencies for numerically integrated orbits
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
We present a method for extracting actions, angles and frequencies from an orbit's time series. The method recovers the generating function that maps an analytic phase-space torus…
