Goals•Most Empirical:
•What is the (total) mass distribution?•On what orbits do the constituent mass elements, or the tracer masses, move?
•Going a bit deeper: •What are the mass components: stars, gas, dark matter, etc… •Is the mass budget accounted for by the known/identified mass constituents?•Are (most) systems in (approximate) steady state on a “dynamical timescale”.
•Finally: •to which extent is the range of observed galaxy structures determined by
•Stability?•Initial conditions?
•What can be learned about the formation process of galaxies from their dynamical state?•Any slow (“secular”) internal re-shaping?

..Goals..•But, let’s not forget the practical question:
How do we use observable information to get these answers?
Observables: •Spatial distribution and kinematics of “tracer population(s)”, which may make up
•all (in globular clusters?)•much (stars in elliptical galaxies?) or•little (ionized gas in spiral galaxies)
of the “dynamical” mass.In external galaxies only 3 of the 6 phase-space dimensions, xproj,yproj,vLOS, are observable!Note: since tdynamical ~ 108 yrs in galaxies, observations constitute an instantaneous snapshot.…the Galactic Center is an exciting exception..

Gas vs. Stars or
Collisionless vs. Collisional Matter
How often do stars in a galaxy „collide“?
• RSun 7x1010 cm; DSun-Cen 1019 cm!=> collisions extremely unlikely!
…and in galaxy centers?
Mean surface brightness of the Sun is = - 11mag/sqasec, which is distance independent.The central parts of other galaxies have ~ 12 mag/sqasec.
Therefore, (1 - 10-9) of the projected area is empty.
Even near galaxy centers, the path ahead of stars is empty.

Dynamical time-scale (=typical orbital period)
Milky Way: R~8kpc v~200km/s torb~240 Myrs torb~tHubble/50
Stars in a galaxy feel the gravitational force of other stars. But of which ones?- consider homogeneous
distribution of stars, and force exerted on one star by other stars seen in a direction d within a slice of [r,rx(1+)]
=> dF ~ GdM/r2 = Gρ x r(!) x dΩ- gravity from the multitude of
distant stars dominates!

What about (diffuse) interstellar gas?
- continuous mass distribution- gas has the ability to lose (internal)
energy through radiation. - Two basic regimes for gas in a potential
well of ‚typical orbital velocity‘, v• kT/m v2 hydrostatic equilibrium• kT/m << v2, as for atomic gas in
galaxies- in the second case:
supersonic collisions shocks (mechanical) heating (radiative) cooling energy lossFor a given (total) angular momentum, what‘s the minimum energy orbit?
A (set of) concentric (co-planar), circular orbits.
=> cooling gas makes disks!

Are Galaxy Disks Dynamically Stable?
Let’s start with familiar ground, the Jeans Instability (1909/1929)– De-stabilizing agent: gravity– Stabilizing agent: pressure / vel. dispersion
Equating the time-scales:
Collapse will occur for L>LJ

Non-rotating disks:• tgrav.collapse ~ tdisperse:
Rotating Disk (say, vc=const)A circular patch of size Lrot in the co-rotating frame
seems to be rotating at xLrot.
If it wants to shrink, it needs to conserve its angular momentum x(Lrot)2=const. centrifugal acceleration
Balancing increased centrifugal acceleration and increased self-gravity under shrinking the patch leads to a maximal unstable radius:
So, in disks are stable for L<LJ and L>Lrot if LJ=Lrot, everything is stable!
This is the essence of the Toomre (1964) criterion. Proper math, for arbitrary rotation curves gives:Stability for
epicycle frequency, comb. of and d/dr

How self-gravitating are disks?
• Milky Way at the Solar radius has Q~1.5. OK.
• Traditional “maximum disk fits
• But: you can’t extract two 1-D functions vc(disk) and vc(halo) from one measured function vc(obs)
Need independent estimate of stellar mass
![Page 11: 1 Galaxy/Stellar Dynamics and the Evolution of Galaxies Hans-Walter Rix Max Planck Institute for Astronomy Heidelberg Jerusalem, January 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bb47f8b9ab0599cdfdc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Measuring the Self-Gravity of Disks
I: Stellar Evolution Physics and IMF prior
II: Disks are flat (at least, flatter than the
halo)
III: Disks have spiral arms (halos do not)
Great for relative M/L, poor absolute calibrations

Use colors to get a (perhaps still un-normalized) “stellar mass image”

Exploiting Spiral Arms
Spiral galaxies, in their “mass images” show spiral arms.
These mass perturbations should induce non-circular motions in the gas
velocity wiggles
Their amplitude depends on the fraction of the rotation velocity (=mass) that comes from the disk (not DM)
Kranz, Slysz and Rix, 2001, 2002

Bar-formation
• Disks are prone to bar formation, even if only partially self-gravitating!
Athanassoula 2002
![Page 16: 1 Galaxy/Stellar Dynamics and the Evolution of Galaxies Hans-Walter Rix Max Planck Institute for Astronomy Heidelberg Jerusalem, January 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bb47f8b9ab0599cdfdc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Disks Upshot
• Massive disks appear to be nearly self-gravitating(where did all the DM go?)
• Many (stellar) disks are observed to be marginally stable, according to Toomre
• Disks are being re-shaped by instabilities, even without any mergers

Starting point: Boltzmann Equation(= phase space continuity equation)It says: if I follow a particle on its gravitational path (=Lagrangian derivative) through phase space, it will always be there.
A rather ugly partial differential equation!
Note: we have substituted gravitational force for accelaration!
To simplify it, one takes velocity moments:i.e. n = 0,1, ... on both sides

Application of the Jeans Equation
• Goal:– Avoid “picking”right virial radius.– Account for spatial variations– Get more information than “total mass”
• Simplest case• spherical:
static:
Choose spherical coordinates:
r is the radial and t the tangential velocity dispersion
for the „isotropic“ case!

Note: Isotropy is a mathematical assumption here, not justified by physics!
Remember: is the mass density of particles under consideration (e.g. stars), while just describes the gravitational potential acting on them.

“Orbit-based” ModelsSchwarzschild Models (1978)
• What would the galaxy look like, if all stars were on the same orbit?– pick a potential – Specify an orbit by its
“isolating integrals of motion”, e.g. E, J or Jz
– Integrate orbit to calculate the
• time-averaged• projected
properties of this orbit (NB: time average in the
calculation is identified with ensemble average in the galaxy at on instant)
– Sample “orbit space” and repeat from Rix et al 1997

Stellar Kinematics and Clues to the Formation History of
Galaxies Mergers scramble the dynamical
structure of galaxies, but do not erase the memory of the progenitor structures completely.
In equilibrium, phase space structure (E,J/Jz,+) is preserved.
However, observations are in xproj,yproj,vLOS space!
Connection not trivial!

• Do such streams exist?– Stars with similar kinematics and
chemical abundance• Assess their mass, orbits distribution• Is the whole spheroid a collection of
streams?

Summary• Galaxy disks are re-shaped by (internal)
instabilities; • Hot systems reflect their formation
history
• Schwarzschild modeling is the tool of choice to solve for – Gravitational potential– Orbital distribution
• Kinematic (sub-)structure even of ellipticals reflect multiple (=? multi-epoch) formation events
• Sub-structure in the Milky Way and M31 abounds
