Galactic disc profiles and a universal angular momentum distribution from statistical physics
Jakob Herpich, Scott Tremaine, Hans-Walter Rix
We show that the stellar surface-brightness profiles in disc galaxies---observed to be approximately exponential---can be explained if radial migration efficiently scrambles the in…
How to bend galaxy disc profiles II: stars surfing the bar in Type-III discs
Jakob Herpich, Gregory S. Stinson, Hans-Walter Rix +2
The radial profiles of stars in disc galaxies are observed to be either purely exponential (Type-I), truncated (Type-II) or anti-truncated (Type-III) exponentials. Controlled forma…
How to bend galaxy disc profiles: the role of halo spin
Jakob Herpich, Gregory S. Stinson, Aaron A. Dutton +6
The radial density profiles of stellar galaxy discs can be well approximated as an exponential. Compared to this canonical form, however, the profiles in the majority of disc galax…
