The angular momentum of disc galaxies at z=1
A. Marasco, F. Fraternali, L. Posti +3
We investigate the relation between stellar mass and specific stellar angular momentum, or `Fall relation', for a sample of 17 isolated, regularly rotating disc galaxies at z=1. Al…

A discrete chemo-dynamical model of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor: mass profile, velocity anisotropy and internal rotation
Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Laura L. Watkins +1
We present a new discrete chemo-dynamical axisymmetric modeling technique, which we apply to the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor. The major improvement over previous Jeans models…

Action-based distribution functions for spheroidal galaxy components
Lorenzo Posti, James Binney, Carlo Nipoti +1
We present an approach to the design of distribution functions that depend on the phase-space coordinates through the action integrals. The approach makes it easy to construct a dy…
