Resonant Stellar Orbits in Spiral Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
This paper reviews a series of investigations of the orbits of stars in the regions of the Lindblad resonances of a spiral galaxy. The analysis is formulated in an epicyclic approximation. Analytic solutions of the epicyclic equations of motion are obtained by the method of harmonic balance of Bogoliubov and Mitropolsky. These solutions represent the resonance phenomena exhibited by the orbits in generally excellent agreement with numerical solutions.
