Testing Galactic Oscillations

Abstract

Recent numerical simulations using an N-body code suggest that galaxies may oscillate in a very regular and long lasting way. Here we investigate galactic oscillations using a different approach: the perturbation particle method. Our results confirm the computational results given by Miller and Smith (1994).
