{"product_id":"kinematics-and-dynamics-of-galactic-rafael-cubarsi-9781527505629","title":"Kinematics and Dynamics of Galactic Stellar Populations","description":"Stellar dynamics is an interdisciplinary field where mathematics, statistics, physics, and astronomy overlap. The approaches to studying a stellar system include dealing with the collisionless Boltzmann equation, the Chandrasekhar equations, and stellar hydrodynamic equations, which are comparable to the equations of motion of a compressible viscous fluid. Their equivalence gives rise to the closure problem, connected with the higher-order moments of the stellar velocity distribution, which is explained and solved for maximum entropy distributions and for any velocity distribution function, depending on a polynomial function in the velocity variables. On the other hand, the Milky Way kinematics in the solar neighbourhood needs to be described as a mixture distribution accounting for the stellar populations composing the Galactic components. As such, the book offers a statistical study, according to the moments and cumulants of a population mixture, and a dynamical approach, according to a superposition of Chandrasekhar stellar systems, connected with the potential function and the symmetries of the model.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafael Cubarsi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527505626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527505629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rafael Cubarsi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518798115071,"sku":"9781527505629","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51a9e7fe-18b7-417d-887c-8d2102bff85f.jpg?v=1778735689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kinematics-and-dynamics-of-galactic-rafael-cubarsi-9781527505629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
