Orbit evolution in growing stellar bars: Bar-supporting orbits at the vertical ILR region
Thanos Manos, Charalampos Skokos, Panos Patsis
We investigate the evolution of orbital shapes at the Inner Lindblad Resonance region of a rotating three-dimensional bar, the mass of which is growing with time. We evaluate in ti…
Chaoticity in the vicinity of complex unstable periodic orbits in galactic type potentials
P. A. Patsis, T. Manos, L. Chaves-Velasquez +2
We investigate the evolution of phase space close to complex unstable periodic orbits in two galactic type potentials. They represent characteristic morphological types of disc gal…
Chaos and dynamical trends in barred galaxies: bridging the gap between N-body simulations and time-dependent analytical models
T. Manos, Rubens E. G. Machado
Self-consistent N-body simulations are efficient tools to study galactic dynamics. However, using them to study individual trajectories (or ensembles) in detail can be challenging.…
Regular and chaotic orbits in barred galaxies - I. Applying the SALI/GALI method to explore their distribution in several models
T. Manos, E. Athanassoula
The distinction between chaotic and regular behavior of orbits in galactic models is an important issue and can help our understanding of galactic dynamical evolution. In this pape…
