Abstract

The perfect ellipsoid is presented: an inhomogeneous triaxial mass model with a gravitational potential that is of Stäckel form. The equations of motion are separable in ellipsoidal coordinates and all stellar orbits have three isolating integrals that are known explicitly. The relevance of mass models with Stäckel potentials for the construction of self- consistent models of elliptical galaxies is discussed.
