Investigating the nature of motion in 3D perturbed elliptic oscillators displaying exact periodic orbits
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
We study the nature of motion in a 3D potential composed of perturbed elliptic oscillators. Our technique is to use the results obtained from the 2D potential in order to find the…
Chaos in a disk galaxy model induced by asymmetries in the dark halo
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
We study the regular or chaotic nature of motion in a disk galaxy with a dense nucleus and an asymmetric dark halo. Two cases, the 2D model and the 3D model, are investigated. In t…
Order and chaos in a triaxial galaxy model with a dark halo component
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
We study the regular or chaotic nature of orbits in a 3D potential describing a triaxial galaxy surrounded by a spherical dark halo component. Our numerical calculations show, that…
Dark halos acting as chaos controllers in asymmetric triaxial galaxy models
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
We study the regular or chaotic character of orbits in a 3D dynamical model, describing a triaxial galaxy surrounded by a spherical dark halo component. Our numerical experiments s…
Using the S(c) spectrum to distinguish between order and chaos in a 3D galactic potential
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
The regular and chaotic character of orbits is investigated in a 3D potential describing motion in the central parts of a barred galaxy. This potential is an extension in the 3D sp…
Chaotic orbits in a 3D galactic dynamical model with a double nucleus
Nicolaos D. Caranicolas, Euaggelos E. Zotos
A 3D-dynamical model is constructed for the study of motion in the central regions of a disk galaxy with a double nucleus. Using the results of the 2D-model, we find the regions of…
