Dynamics of the Milky Way Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc /

This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials are...
