Lecture

Spherical Systems: Models and Potentials

Description

This lecture covers the theory of spherical systems, focusing on circular speed, circular velocity, circular frequency, and escape speed. It discusses potential-based and density-based models, as well as axisymmetric models for disk galaxies. Examples include potential of flattened systems, infinite thin disks, and spheroidal shells.
