9318617 Sellwood Current understanding of the structure, origin and evolution of galaxies has advanced enormously in the last decade, due in part to advances in astronomical detector technology, and in part to advances in computer power and theoretical insight. The grant will address a number of closely related fundamental questions in galactic dynamics, including: the origin and evolution of disk and spheroidal galaxies, with particular focus on the role of dynamical instabilities; the structure of triaxial elliptical galaxies, especially those with large centric densities; and the dark matter content of a wide class of stellar systems, including elliptical and barred galaxies. Included in the research are: analysis of large-scale N-body simulations; analytical and semi-analytical studies; and analysis of observational data. ***

9318617 Sellwood当前对星系结构，起源和演变的理解在过去十年中已大大提高，部分原因是天文探测器技术的进步，部分原因是计算机功率和理论洞察力的进步。 该赠款将解决银河系动力学中许多密切相关的基本问题，包括：磁盘和球形星系的起源和演变，特别关注动态不稳定性的作用；三轴椭圆星系的结构，尤其是那些具有较大中心密度的结构；以及广泛的恒星系统的暗物质含量，包括椭圆形和禁止星系。 研究中包括：大规模N体模拟的分析；分析和半分析研究；和观察数据的分析。 ***
