Dynamical properties of two-component galaxy models whose stellar density distribution is described by a gamma-model while the total density distribution has a pure r^(-2) profile, are presented. The orbital structure of the stellar component is described by Osipkov-Merritt anisotropy, while the dark matter halo is isotropic. After a description of minimum halo models, the positivity of the phase-space density (the model consistency) is investigated, and necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency are obtained analytically as a function of the stellar inner density slope gamma and anisotropy radius. The explicit phase-space distribution function is recovered for integer values of gamma, and it is shown that while models with gamma>4/17 are consistent when the anisotropy radius is larger than a critical value (dependent on gamma), the gamma=0 models are unphysical even in the fully isotropic case. The Jeans equations for the stellar component are then solved analytically; in addition, the projected velocity dispersion at the center and at large radii are also obtained analytically for generic values of the anisotropy radius, and it is found that they are given by remarkably simple expressions. The presented models, even though highly idealized, can be useful as starting point for more advanced modeling of the mass distribution of elliptical galaxies in studies combining stellar dynamics and gravitational lensing.

We present MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) fits to 15 rotation curves of LSB galaxies. Good fits are readily found, although for a few galaxies minor adjustments to the inclination are needed. Reasonable values for the stellar mass-to-light ratios are found, as well as an approximately constant value for the total (gas and stars) mass-to-light ratio. We show that the LSB galaxies investigated here lie on the one, unique Tully-Fisher relation, as predicted by MOND. The scatter on the Tully-Fisher relation can be completely explained by the observed scatter in the total mass-to-light ratio. We address the question of whether MOND can fit any arbitrary rotation curve by constructing a plausible fake model galaxy. While MOND is unable to fit this hypothetical galaxy, a normal dark halo fit is readily found, showing that dark matter fits are much less selective in producing fits. The good fits to rotation curves of LSB galaxies support MOND, especially as these are galaxies with large mass discrepancies deep in the MOND regime.

In this study the geometry of gas dominated galaxies in the SPARC database is analyzed in a normalized $(g_{bar},g_{obs})$-space ($g2$-space), where $g_{obs}$ is the observed centripetal acceleration and $g_{bar}$ is the centripetal acceleration as o btained from the observed baryonic matter via Newtonian dynamics. The normalization of $g2$-space significantly reduce the effect of both random and systematic uncertainties as well as enable a comparison of the geometries of different galaxies. Analyzing the gas-dominated galaxies (as opposed to other galaxies) further suppress the impact of the mass to light ratios. It is found that the overall geometry of the gas dominated galaxies in SPARC is consistent with a rightward curving geometry in the normalized $g2$-space (characterized by $r_{obs}>r_{bar}$, where $r_{bar}=arg max_r[g_{bar}(r)]$ and $r_{obs}=arg max_r[g_{obs}(r)]$). This is in contrast to the overall geometry of all galaxies in SPARC which best approximates a geometry curing nowhere in normalized $g2$-space (characterized by $r_{obs}=r_{bar}$) with a slight inclination toward a rightward curving geometry. The geometry of the gas dominated galaxies not only indicate the true (independent of mass to light ratios to leading order) geometry of data in $g2$-space (which can be used to infer properties on the solution to the missing mass problem) but also - when compared to the geometry of all galaxies - indicate the underlying radial dependence of the disk mass to light ratio.
Over the last decade it has become clear that there is a decoupling between the old stellar disk and young stellar disk in spiral galaxies. This has led to a scheme for classifying galaxies on the basis of their near-infrared morphology. The near-inf rared provides a more physical framework for classifying galaxies as it is both relatively free from extinction and it traces the old stellar population, i.e. the dominant stellar mass distribution. The `dust penetrated class is dependent upon the spiral pitch angle of arms. We have observed 8 galaxies with UFTI on UKIRT in the K-band in order to investigate the theoretical link between disk dynamics and arm morphology, which is suggested both from numerical models and the dust penetrated class. We find that the pitch angle of spiral arms, i, correlates well with the shear rate of rotation curves, $A/omega$ (where A is the first Oort constant and $omega$ is the rotational velocity), over the same radial range.
We present a two-dimensional multi-component photometric decomposition of 404 galaxies from the CALIFA Data Release 3. They represent all possible galaxies with no clear signs of interaction and not strongly inclined in the final CALIFA data release. Galaxies are modelled in the g, r, and i SDSS images including, when appropriate, a nuclear point source, bulge, bar, and an exponential or broken disc component. We use a human-supervised approach to determine the optimal number of structures to be included in the fit. The dataset, including the photometric parameters of the CALIFA sample, is released together with statistical errors and a visual analysis of the quality of each fit. The analysis of the photometric components reveals a clear segregation of the structural composition of galaxies with stellar mass. At high masses (log(Mstar/Msun)>11), the galaxy population is dominated by galaxies modelled with a single Sersic or a bulge+disc with a bulge-to-total (B/T) luminosity ratio B/T>0.2. At intermediate masses (9.5<log(Mstar/Msun)<11), galaxies described with bulge+disc but B/T < 0.2 are preponderant, whereas, at the low mass end (log(Mstar/Msun)<9.5), the prevailing population is constituted by galaxies modelled with either pure discs or nuclear point sources+discs (i.e., no discernible bulge). We obtain that 57% of the volume corrected sample of disc galaxies in the CALIFA sample host a bar. This bar fraction shows a significant drop with increasing galaxy mass in the range 9.5<log(Mstar/Msun)<11.5. The analyses of the extended multi-component radial profile result in a volume-corrected distribution of 62%, 28%, and 10% for the so-called Type I, Type II, and Type III disc profiles, respectively. These fractions are in discordance with previous findings. We argue that the different methodologies used to detect the breaks are the main cause for these differences.

The fully analytical solution for isothermal Bondi accretion on a black hole (MBH) at the center of two-component Jaffe (1983) galaxy models is presented. In a previous work we provided the analytical expressions for the critical accretion parameter and the radial profile of the Mach number in the case of accretion on a MBH at the center of a spherically symmetric one-component Jaffe galaxy model. Here we apply this solution to galaxy models where both the stellar and total mass density distributions are described by the Jaffe profile, with different scale-lengths and masses, and to which a central MBH is added. For such galaxy models all the relevant stellar dynamical properties can also be derived analytically (Ciotti & Ziaee Lorzad 2018). In these new models the hydrodynamical and stellar dynamical properties are linked by imposing that the gas temperature is proportional to the virial temperature of the galaxy stellar component. The formulae that are provided allow to evaluate all flow properties, and are then useful for estimates of the scale-radius and the mass flow rate when modeling accretion on massive black holes at the center of galaxies. As an application, we quantify the departure from the true mass accretion rate of estimates obtained using the gas properties at various distances from the MBH, under the hypothesis of classical Bondi accretion.
