abstract

I present a general family of dynamical models with simple analytical potential-density pairs suited to model galactic bulges and nuclei with double power-law radial density profiles and an optional central black hole. Analytical expressions for the potential and velocity dispersion of these models are given in the spherical case. Many previously known analytical spherical models, including also the recent $\gamma / \eta$-models by Dehnen (1993) and Tremaine et al. (1994), are special cases of this family. This family also forms a complete set for constructing general galaxy models or solving Poisson's equation in the non-spherical case. In particular, a generalized Clutton-Brock (1973) and Hernquist-Ostriker (1992) orthogonal basis set is given.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using public 2017 M87* closure data, a frozen Kerr source fails an absolute adequacy test and the differential tidal-charge response fails numerical convergence, so no posterior or bound is reported.

    Dark-matter halos built from exact relativistic Einstein-cloud solutions can measurably dephase EMRI/IMRI gravitational waves, mainly through changes in spacetime geometry rather than dynamical friction.
