{"product_id":"9781527505629","title":"Kinematics and Dynamics of Galactic Stellar Populations","description":"\u003cp\u003eStellar 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge Scholars Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52387769647415,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":541.52,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781527505629","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
