A new implementation of the Schwarzschild method for constructing observationally-driven dynamical models of galaxies of all morphological types
Eugene Vasiliev, Monica Valluri
We present Forstand, a new code for constructing dynamical models of galaxies with the Schwarzschild orbit-superposition method. These models are constrained by line-of-sight kinem…
Evidence for Two Early Accretion Events That Built the Milky Way Stellar Halo
G. C. Myeong, E. Vasiliev, G. Iorio +2
The Gaia Sausage is the major accretion event that built the stellar halo of the Milky Way galaxy. Here, we provide dynamical and chemical evidence for a second substantial accreti…
Evolution of supermassive black hole binaries and tidal disruption rates in nonspherical galactic nuclei
Kirill Lezhnin, Eugene Vasiliev
Binary supermassive black holes (SMBH) are expected to form naturally during galaxy mergers. After the dynamical friction phase, when the two SMBHs become gravitationally bound to…
A new Monte Carlo method for dynamical evolution of non-spherical stellar systems
Eugene Vasiliev
We have developed a novel Monte Carlo method for simulating the dynamical evolution of stellar systems in arbitrary geometry. The orbits of stars are followed in a smooth potential…
