The double-power approach to spherically symmetric astrophysical systems
Manasvi Lingam, Phuc H. Nguyen
In this paper, we present two simple approaches for deriving anisotropic distribution functions for a wide range of spherical models. The first method involves multiplying and divi…

Analytical families of 2-component anisotropic polytropes and their relativistic extensions
Phuc H. Nguyen, Manasvi Lingam
In this paper, we study a family of two-component anisotropic polytropes which model a wide range of spherically symmetric astrophysical systems such as early-type baryonic galaxie…

Anisotropic Models for Globular Clusters, Galactic Bulges and Dark Halos
P. H. Nguyen, J. F. Pedraza
Spherical systems with polytropic equations of state are of great interest in astrophysics. They are widely used to describe neutron stars, red giants, white dwarfs, brown dwarfs,…
