Gravitational potential energy of interpenetrating spherical galaxies in Hernquist’s model
K. S. V. S. Narasimhan K. S. Sastry Saleh Mohammed Alladin
Hernquist’s (1990) mass model for spherical galaxies and bulges described by the deVaucouleur’s profile gives analytical expressions for the density profile and the potential. These have been used to derive a simple and exact analytical expression for the gravitational potential energy of a pair of interpene-trating spherical galaxies represented by this model. The results are compared with those for polytropic and Plummer models of galaxis.

Continuous Article Publishing mode
Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
