The wedding of modified dynamics and non-exotic dark matter in galaxy clusters
B. Famaey, G. W. Angus, G. Gentile +2
We summarize the status of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) in galaxy clusters. The observed acceleration is typically larger than the acceleration threshold of MOND in the centr…
The Hyades stream: evaporated cluster or intrusion from the inner disk?
B. Famaey, F. Pont, X. Luri +3
The nature of the Hyades stream, or Hyades moving group, is a long-standing question of Galactic Astronomy. Is this stream caused by non-axisymmetric perturbations of the galactic…
Local kinematics of K and M giants from Coravel/Hipparcos/Tycho-2 data. Revisiting the concept of superclusters
B. Famaey, A. Jorissen, X. Luri +4
The availability of the Hipparcos Catalogue triggered many kinematic and dynamical studies of the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, those studies generally lacked the third compon…
Three-integral models for axisymmetric galactic discs
B. Famaey, K. Van Caelenberg, H. Dejonghe
We present new equilibrium component distribution functions that depend on three analytic integrals in a Stackel potential, and that can be used to model stellar discs of galaxies.…
Potentials and distribution functions to be used for dynamical modeling with GAIA-like data
B. Famaey, H. Dejonghe
We present new tools to establish axisymmetric equilibrium models of the Milky Way. The models we wish to establish are pairs (V,F) where V is the gravitational potential generated…
