Nonuniqueness and Structural Stability of Self-Consistent Models of Elliptical Galaxies
Christos Siopis
Schwarzschild models of a Plummer sphere were constructed and compared with analytical results to test the robustness of Schwarzschild's method and its efficiency in probing the de…

Nonuniqueness and structural stability of self-consistent models of elliptical galaxies
Christos Siopis
(Abridged:) Schwarzschild's method was used to construct equilibrium solutions to the collisionless Boltzmann equation corresponding to a Plummer sphere, which were compared with a…
