Scientific paper

We present models of elliptical galaxies as oblate spheroidal systems with little rotation. The flattening of the system is due to the inclusion of an approximate third integral in the distribution function and the models agree quite well with the observations, i.e. they have reasonably flat rotation curves, flat dispersion velocity up to 5-10 core radii and density falling like r-3.5.
