Gravitational Lensing & Stellar Dynamics [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2006 Strong gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics provide two complementary and orthogonal constraints on the density profiles of galaxies. Based on spherically symmetric, scale-free, mass models, it is shown that the combination of both techniques is ...

Stellar dynamics and black holes [PDF]
Pramana, 2011 Chandrasekhar's most important contribution to stellar dynamics was the concept of dynamical friction. I briefly review that work, then discuss some implications of Chandrasekhar's theory of gravitational encounters for motion in galactic nuclei.Comment:

Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
Open Astronomy, 2011 Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of important results in relative isolation which were later rediscovered in the West.

Internal rotation of red giants by asteroseismology [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present an asteroseismic approach to study the dynamics of the stellar interior in red giant stars by asteroseismic inversion of the splittings induced by the stellar rotation on the oscillation frequencies.

SECULAR STELLAR DYNAMICS NEAR A MASSIVE BLACK HOLE [PDF]
, 2011 The angular momentum evolution of stars close to massive black holes (MBHs) is driven by secular torques. In contrast to two-body relaxation, where interactions between stars are incoherent, the resulting resonant relaxation (RR) process is characterized

Stellar dynamics around transient co-rotating spiral arms
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Spiral density wave theory attempts to describe the spiral pattern in spiral galaxies in terms of a long-lived wave structure with a constant pattern speed in order to avoid the winding dilemma.

Perspectives on the physics of late-type stars from beyond low earth orbit, the moon and mars [PDF]
npj MicrogravityWith the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations.

On the Orbital Periods for a Particular Case of Spherical Symmetry [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2008 A particular case of steady state and spherical symmetry - the so-called logarithmic potential introduced as the first approximation for dark coronae of galaxies - is studied. Both time and angle dependence of the distance to the centre for the orbit of

Compact Binary Coalescences: Astrophysical Processes and Lessons Learned
Galaxies, 2022 On 11 February 2016, the LIGO and Virgo scientific collaborations announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves, a signal caught by the LIGO interferometers on 14 September 2015, and produced by the coalescence of two stellar-mass black ...
