Three-component Stackel potentials satisfying recent estimates of Milky Way parameters
B. Famaey, H. Dejonghe
We present a set of three-component Stackel potentials defined by five parameters and designed to model the Milky Way. We review the fundamental constraints that any model of the M…

The Hernquist model revisited: completely analytical anisotropic dynamical models
Maarten Baes, Herwig Dejonghe
Simple analytical models, such as the Hernquist model, are very useful tools to investigate the dynamical structure of galaxies. Unfortunately, most of the analytical distribution…

Kinematics of elliptical galaxies with a diffuse dust component - III. A Monte Carlo approach to include the effects of scattering
Maarten Baes, Herwig Dejonghe
This paper is the third one in a series, intended to investigate how the observed kinematics of elliptical galaxies are affected by dust attenuation. In Paper I and Paper II, we in…
