In this thesis we examine the methodology of modelling the Milky Way using stellar streams. Using the orbit-fitting method we show that combining constraints from the Sagittarius stream with a suite of other photometric ...

In this thesis we modify the Made-To-Measure (M2M) algorithm to be dynamically selfconsistent and apply it to the problem of generating equilibrium collisionless systems with non-spherical halos. Our M2M algorithm ...
