Chemodynamical modelling of the Milky Way
James Binney, Jason L Sanders
Chemodynamical models of our Galaxy that have analytic Extended Distribution Functions (EDFs) are likely to play a key role in extracting science from surveys in the era of Gaia.
Torus mapper: a code for dynamical models of galaxies
James Binney, Paul J McMillan
We present a freely downloadable software package for modelling the dynamics of galaxies, which we call the Torus Mapper (TM). The package is based around `torus mapping', which is…
A review of action estimation methods for galactic dynamics
Jason L. Sanders, James Binney
We review the available methods for estimating actions, angles and frequencies of orbits in both axisymmetric and triaxial potentials. The methods are separated into two classes. U…
The distribution function of the Galaxy's dark halo
James Binney, Tilmann Piffl
Starting from the hypothesis that the Galaxy's dark halo responded adiabatically to the infall of baryons, we have constructed a self-consistent dynamical model of the Galaxy that…
Gas flow in barred potentials - III. Effects of varying the Quadrupole
Mattia C. Sormani, James Binney, John Magorrian
We run hydrodynamical simulations of a 2D isothermal non self-gravitating inviscid gas flowing in a rigidly rotating externally imposed potential formed by only two components: a m…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical determination of the precision of stellar radial velocities and projected rotation velocities
R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, J. Lewis +58
The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs)…
