| Abstract: | Certain analytic functions used in galactic mass models are reviewed from a somewhat biased orbit-computational viewpoint.
On this basis, it is argued that at the present time, and optimal galactic mass model should be a superposition of spheroids
with two kinds of density laws: the Schmidt (1956) type, and a new type given by Equation (3). |
