More dynamical models of our Galaxy
James Binney
Using a new algorithm for estimating the actions of orbits a parametrised distribution function is automatically fitted to observational data for the solar neighbourhood. We adopt…
Actions for axisymmetric potentials
James Binney
We give an algorithm for the economical calculation of angles and actions for stars in axisymmetric potentials. We test the algorithm by integrating orbits in a realistic model of…
The properties of the local spiral arms from RAVE data: two-dimensional density wave approach
A. Siebert, B. Famaey, J. Binney +19
Using the RAVE survey, we recently brought to light a gradient in the mean galactocentric radial velocity of stars in the extended solar neighbourhood. This gradient likely origina…
Dynamics of secular evolution
James Binney
The text of lectures to the 2011 Tenerife Winter School. The School's theme was "Secular Evolution of Galaxies" and my task was to present the underlying stellar-dynamical theory.…
