Determining the type of orbits in the central regions of barred galaxies
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Nicolaos D. Caranicolas
We use a simple dynamical model which consists of a harmonic oscillator and a spherical component, in order to investigate the regular or chaotic character of orbits in a barred ga…
Classifying orbits in a new dynamical model describing motion in a prolate or an oblate elliptical galaxy
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Efthimia G. Doni
The regular or chaotic character of orbits of stars moving in the meridional plane (R,z) of an axially symmetric elliptical galaxy with a dense, massive spherical nucleus and a dar…
Determining the nature of orbits in disk galaxies with non spherical nuclei
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Nicolaos D. Caranicolas
We investigate the regular or chaotic nature of orbits of stars moving in the meridional plane of an axially symmetric galactic model with a flat disk and a central, non sp…
Revealing the influence of dark matter on the nature of motion and the families of orbits in axisymmetric galaxy models
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Nicolaos D. Caranicolas
An axially symmetric galactic gravitational model composed of a dense, massive and spherical nucleus with an additional dark matter halo component was used, to distinguish between…
Order and chaos in a new 3D dynamical model describing motion in non axially symmetric galaxies
Euaggelos E. Zotos, Nicolaos D. Caranicolas
We present a new dynamical model describing 3D motion in non axially symmetric galaxies. The model covers a wide range of galaxies from a disk system to an elliptical galaxy by sui…
Unveiling the Influence of Dark Matter in Axially Symmetric Galaxies
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
We investigate the regular or chaotic nature of orbits of stars moving in the meridional plane (R,z) of an axially symmetric galactic model with a dense, massive spherical nucleus…
