Maximally prograde stellar distribution
ID: maximally-prograde-stellar-distribution
For a nonrotating axisymmetric galactic distribution function even in , reverse every retrograde azimuthal velocity. The resulting distribution is : it preserves density and even velocity moments but makes the streaming velocity . Dependence on conserved preserves stationarity. A centered Gaussian distribution of width becomes a half-normal distribution, with mean .
