A Model of the Stellar Velocity Field
Abstract
A kinematic galactic model has been derived through the hydro- dynamical equations, based on the central momenta obtained for a wide sample of stars. The very general form of the stellar density, the galactic potential, the second order pressures and the velocity of the local standard of the rest has been determined, being the latter studied in an interesting special case.
