Milky Way-like N-body models simulated with the parallel GPU tree code Bonsai. Each of the three models consists of a dark matter halo, a classical bulge, and a stellar disk, represented by equal-mass particles of ~170M⊙. The basic dynamical properties of the models are summarized in the following table.
Model | Σ8 kpc (M⊙ kpc-2) |
σR,8 kpc (km s-1) |
σz,8 kpc (km s-1) |
Vc, 8 kpc (km s-1) |
Ωb, 8 kpc (km s-1 kpc-1) |
RCR (kpc) |
ROLR (kpc) |
RILR (kpc) |
