We describe a one-parameter family of models of stable spherical stell
ar systems in which the phase-space distribution function depends only
on energy. The models have similar density profiles in their outer pa
rts (p proportional to r(-4)) and central power-law density cusps, p p
roportional to r(3-eta), 0 < eta less than or equal to 3. The family c
ontains the Jaffe [MNRAS, 202, 995 (1983)] and Hernquist [ApJ, 356, 35
9 (1990)] models as special cases. We evaluate the surface brightness
profile, the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profile, and the distri
bution function, and discuss analogs of King's core-fitting formula fo
r determining mass-to-light ratio. We also generalize the models to a
two-parameter family, in which the galaxy contains a central black hol
e; the second parameter is the mass of the black hole. Our models can
be used to estimate the detectability of central black holes and the v
elocity-dispersion profiles of galaxies that contain central cusps, wi
th or without a central black hole.
