 Half-anisotropic distribution function

For $f(E,L)=f_E(E)/L$, with $L=rv\sin \eta$ and $E=\psi -v^2/2$, velocity integration gives $r\rho =2{\pi }^2{\int }_0^{\psi }{f}_E(E)dE$. Thus $f_E(E)=(2{\pi }^2{)}^{-1}d(r\rho )/d\psi$ at $\psi =E$. The factor $1/L$ is locally integrable under the velocity-volume measure. Its angular measure is uniform in $\eta$; averages of ${\cos }^2\eta$ and ${\sin }^2\eta$ are both $1/2$, so the total tangential second moment equals the radial second moment and the velocity-anisotropy parameter is $\beta =1/2$. At the largest allowed radius $\psi (r_E)=E$, the derivative becomes $[\rho +r(d\rho /dr)]/(d\psi /dr)$, not $[\rho +d\rho /d\psi ]/(d\psi /dr)$. Positivity requires $d(r\rho )/d\psi \ge 0$.
