Axisymmetric, 3-Integral Models of Galaxies: A Massive Black Hole in NGC3379

Karl Gebhardt, Douglas Richstone, John Kormendy +8

We fit axisymmetric 3-integral dynamical models to NGC3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from HST/FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-sl…

A class of symplectic integrators with adaptive timestep for separable Hamiltonian systems

Miguel Preto, Scott Tremaine

Symplectic integration algorithms are well-suited for long-term integrations of Hamiltonian systems because they preserve the geometric structure of the Hamiltonian flow. However,…

Linear multistep methods for integrating reversible differential equations

Wyn Evans, Scott Tremaine

This paper studies multistep methods for the integration of reversible dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on the planar Kepler problem. It has previously been shown by Can…

The dynamics of Plutinos

Qingjuan Yu, Scott Tremaine

Plutinos are Kuiper-belt objects that share the 3:2 Neptune resonance with Pluto. The long-term stability of Plutino orbits depends on their eccentricity. Plutinos with eccentricit…

Rates of tidal disruption of stars by massive central black holes

John Magorrian, Scott Tremaine

There is strong evidence for some kind of massive dark object in the centres of many galaxy bulges. The detection of flares from tidally disrupted stars could confirm that these ob…
