Dynamics of stellar systems:

inferring their mass distribution and formation history

1. •Dynamical models of galaxies ... triaxial Schwarzschild method
   

2. •Integral-field spectroscopy ... SAURON, CALIFA, shocks
   

3. •Dark matter in galaxies ... from black holes to dark halos
   

4. •Centers of galaxies ... nuclear rings, spirals, and clusters
   

5. •Gravitational lensing and kinematics ... galaxy density profiles and shapes
   

6. •Globular clusters ... stellar dynamics, close encounters
