Black Hole Mass Determinations From Orbit Superposition Models are Reliable

Douglas Richstone, Karl Gebhardt, Monique Aller +13

We show that orbit-superposition dynamical models (Schwarzschild's method) provide reliable estimates of nuclear black hole masses and errors when constructed from adequate orbit l…

Linear Response, Dynamical Friction and the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem in Stellar Dynamics

Robert W. Nelson, Scott Tremaine

We apply linear response theory to a general, inhomogeneous, stationary stellar system, with particular emphasis on dissipative processes analogous to Landau damping. Assuming only…

The Evolution of Long-Period Comets

Paul Wiegert, Scott Tremaine

We study the evolution of long-period comets by numerical integration of their orbits, following comets from their origin in the Oort cloud until their final escape or destruction,…

The Dynamics of Galactic Warps

Robert W. Nelson, Scott Tremaine

Large-scale warps in the outer parts of spiral galaxy discs have been observed for almost forty years, but their origin remains obscure. We review the dynamics of warped galaxy dis…
