Spiral structure.(p4)

Returning to the first order terms,
we have :
(15)

In polar coordinates :
(16)

The third order terms vanish.
(17)

i.e :
(18)

The 2d distribution function is
:
(19)

And the axis of the velocity ellipse
follow:
(20)

Then, introducing the number of
density n()
we get :
(21)

and :
(22)

In the twin fold F* we also take
an Eddington-type solution.
(23)

(25)

(26)

From reference [1] we know that
the Poisson equation is :
(27)

where
is
the gravitational potential. is the mass density in the first fold and the mass-density in the second fold. The final differential equation, for
this axially symmetric system, is :
(28)

Introduce :
(29)

where Vo
and Vo* and characteristic
velocities. Introduce the following adimensional quantities :
(30)

Let us write the axis of the velocity
ellipses as :
(31)

Then we get the Poisson differential
equation, refering to a non-rotating axisymmetric system, written in terms
of adimensional parameters , , ,
(32)

  • runs
    the importance of the twin structure (characteristic mass-ratio).

  • is
    the ratio of the thermal velocities in the two adjacent folds F

and F*.

  • and
    refer
    to the characteristic lengths (equivalent to the Jeans
    length) in the two populations.

The mass densities, written in
adimensional form, obey :
(33)

Initial conditions, for numerical computation, will be given for = 0 . Then
:
(34)

Strictly talking, this is not
physical, for the -motions are basicly neglected, but 2d simulation are not
physical too. We build this material in order to pilot numerical 2d simulations,
searching, as a starting point, steady-state conditions.
