There is now a significant body of work on axisymmetric models. A model can be defined by giving the DF of each major class of stars and of dark matter. Then the self-consistent gravitational potential is determined. Other modelling techniques are briefly considered before an overview of some early work on non-axisymmetric models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-05T15:31:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gaia data", "self-consistent modelling", "self-consistent gravitational potential", "non-axisymmetric models", "dark matter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
