Shepherding Tidal Debris with the Galactic Bar: The Ophiuchus Stream
Kohei Hattori, Denis Erkal, Jason L. Sanders
The dynamics of stellar streams in rotating barred potentials is explained for the first time. Naturally, neighbouring stream stars reach pericentre at slightly different times. In…
Chemodynamical modelling of the Milky Way
James Binney, Jason L Sanders
Chemodynamical models of our Galaxy that have analytic Extended Distribution Functions (EDFs) are likely to play a key role in extracting science from surveys in the era of Gaia.
A review of action estimation methods for galactic dynamics
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
We review the available methods for estimating actions, angles and frequencies of orbits in both axisymmetric and triaxial potentials. The methods are separated into two classes. U…
Dynamics of stream-subhalo interactions
Jason L. Sanders, Jo Bovy, Denis Erkal
We develop a formalism for modelling the impact of dark matter subhaloes on cold thin streams. Our formalism models the formation of a gap in a stream in angle-frequency space and…
Self-consistent triaxial models
Jason L. Sanders, N. Wyn Evans
We present self-consistent triaxial stellar systems that have analytic distribution functions (DFs) expressed in terms of the actions. These provide triaxial density profiles with…
Extended distribution functions for our Galaxy
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
We extend models of our Galaxy based on distribution functions (DFs) that are analytic functions of the action integrals to extended distribution functions (EDFs), which have an an…
