Realistic triaxial density--potential--force profiles for stellar systems and dark matter halos
Balsa Terzic, Benjamin J. Sprague
Popular models for describing the luminosity-density profiles of dynamically hot stellar systems (e.g., Jaffe, Hernquist, Dehnen) were constructed to match the deprojected form of…
Noise-Induced Phase Space Transport in Time-Periodic Hamiltonian Systems
Balsa Terzic, Henry E. Kandrup
Orbits in a three-dimensional potential subjected to periodic driving, V(x^i,t)=[1+m_0 sin(omega t) V_0(x^i), divide naturally into two types, regular and chaotic, between which tr…
Orbital structure in oscillating galactic potentials
Balsa Terzic, Henry E. Kandrup
This paper focuses on symmetric potentials subjected to periodic driving. Four unperturbed potentials V_0(r) were considered, namely the Plummer potential and Dehnen potentials wit…
Building Self-Consistent Triaxial Galaxy Models Using Schwarzschild's Method
Balsa Terzic
We use Schwarzschild's orbit superposition method to build self-consistent models of elliptical galaxies with scale-free potentials. Our exhaustive study of all physical shapes and…
Supermassive Black Hole Binaries as Galactic Blenders
Henry E. Kandrup, Ioannis V. Sideris, Balsa Terzic +1
This paper focuses on the dynamical implications of close supermassive black hole binaries both as an example of resonant phase mixing and as a potential explanation of inversions…
Semi-Analytic Estimates of Lyapunov Exponents in Lower-Dimensional Systems
Balsa Terzic, Henry E. Kandrup
Recent work has shown that statistical arguments, seemingly well-justified in higher dimensions, can also be used to derive reasonable, albeit less accurate, estimates of the large…
