On the 3D dynamics and morphology of inner rings
P. A. Patsis, Ch. Skokos, E. Athanassoula
We argue that inner rings in barred spiral galaxies are associated with specific 2D and 3D families of periodic orbits located just beyond the end of the bar. These are families lo…
Orbital dynamics of three-dimensional bars: II. Investigation of the parameter space
Ch. Skokos, P. A. Patsis, E. Athanassoula
We investigate the orbital structure in a class of 3D models of barred galaxies. We consider different values of the pattern speed, of the strength of the bar and of the parameters…
Orbital dynamics of three-dimensional bars: I. The backbone of 3D bars. A fiducial case
Ch. Skokos, P. A. Patsis, E. Athanassoula
In this series of papers we investigate the orbital structure of 3D models representing barred galaxies. In the present introductory paper we use a fiducial case to describe all fa…
