Orbital dynamics of three-dimensional bars: IV. Boxy isophotes in face-on views
P. A. Patsis, Ch Skokos, E. Athanassoula
We study the conditions that favour boxiness of isodensities in the face-on views of orbital 3D models for barred galaxies. Using orbital weighted profiles we show that boxiness is…

Orbital dynamics of three-dimensional bars: III. Boxy/Peanut edge-on profiles
P. A. Patis, Ch. Skokos, E. Athanassoula
We present families, and sets of families, of periodic orbits that provide building blocks for boxy and peanut (hereafter b/p) edge-on profiles. We find cases where the b/p profile…
