Spiral Galaxies: Galactic Coronae, Galactic Corona: Flattening

Scientific paper

Assuming a spheroidal corona with an analogous density function as in Ninković, 1988, the author analyses the resulting equipotential surfaces. They are found to be spheroids. The obtained results are applied to our Galaxy by estimating the distance to the galactic plane above (below) the Sun where the potential is one half of that at the Sun. This distance is found to be equal a few tens of kpc. Therefore, at the present level of information one cannot reject the possibility that the galactic corona is flattened significantly.
