Modelling the Galaxy for GAIA

James Binney

Techniques for the construction of dynamical Galaxy models should be considered essential infrastructure that should be put in place before GAIA flies. Three possible modelling tec…

The Cosmological Context of Extraplanar Gas

James Binney

I review evidence that galaxies form from gas that falls into potential wells cold, rather than from virialized gas, and that formation stops once an atmosphere of trapped virializ…

Dark Matter in Galaxies: Conference Summary

James Binney

The competition between CDM and MOND to account for the `missing mass' phenomena is asymmetric. MOND has clearly demonstrated that a characteristic acceleration underlies the…

Cooling Flows or Heating Flows?

James Binney

It is now clear that AGN heat cooling flows, largely by driving winds. The winds may contain a relativistic component that generates powerful synchrotron radiation, but it is not c…

Entropy Evolution of the Gas in Cooling Flow Clusters

Christian R. Kaiser, James J. Binney

We emphasise the importance of the gas entropy in studying the evolution of cluster gas evolving under the influence of radiative cooling. On this basis, we develop an analytical m…

On the impossibility of advection dominated accretion

James Binney

Using only the assumption that all interactions between particles in an accretion flow are electromagnetically mediated, it is shown that the time to establish equipartition betwee…
