Schwarzschild's method

英語（米国） (en-US) 英語（イギリス） (en-GB)

名詞

不可算名詞

(astrophysics, astronomy) A method to develop triaxial equilibrium kinematic models of actual galaxies (without knowledge of the motions of the component elements of the actual galaxies) using a grid and assigning masses and orbits, simulating gravitational evolution with the resulting estimated distributions, to compare with the actual galaxy, until a model results in similarity with the actual galaxy.

このボタンはなに？

Using Schwarzschild's method, researchers assign masses and orbits on a grid and simulate the resulting gravitational evolution to build triaxial equilibrium kinematic models that can be compared with real galaxies.

(astrophysics, astronomy) A method to develop triaxial equilibrium kinematic models of actual galaxies (without knowledge of the motions of the component elements of the actual galaxies) using a grid and assigning masses and orbits, simulating gravitational evolution with the resulting estimated distributions, to compare with the actual galaxy, until a model results in similarity with the actual galaxy.

This is because in Schwarzschild's method we seek to match the distribution of matter only in configuration space but we ignore the velocity distribution which is an outcome of the method for any particular solution w_o.
