Elliptical galaxies with rapidly decreasing velocity dispersion profiles: NMAGIC models and dark halo parameter estimates for NGC 4494
Lucia Morganti, Ortwin Gerhard, Lodovico Coccato +2
NGC 4494 is one of several intermediate-luminosity elliptical galaxies inferred to have an unusually diffuse dark matter halo. We use the chi^2-made-to-measure particle code NMAGIC…
NMAGIC made-to-measure particle models of galaxies
Lucia Morganti, Ortwin Gerhard
The parallel code NMAGIC is an implementation of a particle-based method to create made-to-measure models in agreement with observations of galaxies. It works by slowly correcting…
Regularizing made-to-measure particle models of galaxies
Lucia Morganti, Ortwin Gerhard
Made-to-measure methods such as the parallel code NMAGIC are powerful tools to build galaxy models reproducing observational data. They work by adapting the particle weights in an…
How general is the global density slope-anisotropy inequality?
Luca Ciotti, Lucia Morganti
Following the seminal result of An & Evans, known as the central density slope-anisotropy theorem, successive investigations unexpectedly revealed that the density slope-anisotropy…
Consistency criteria for generalized Cuddeford systems
Luca Ciotti, Lucia Morganti
General criteria to check the positivity of the distribution function (phase-space consistency) of stellar systems of assigned density and anisotropy profile are useful starting po…
