Detecting chaotic and ordered motion in barred galaxies
T. Manos, E. Athanassoula
A very important issue in the area of galactic dynamics is the detection of chaotic and ordered motion inside galaxies. In order to achieve this target, we use the Smaller ALignmen…

Chaos and the dynamical evolution of barred galaxies
T. Manos, E. Athanassoula
The dynamical evolution of barred galaxies depends crucially on the fraction and their spacial distribution of chaotic orbits in them. In order to distinguish between the two kinds…
