Three-Dimensional Orbits in Triaxial Galaxies

  • Chapter
Internal Kinematics and Dynamics of Galaxies

Abstract

Many elliptical galaxies may be slowly rotating, moderately triaxial systems. Their dynamics are probably characteristic of a 1:1:1-resonance between the frequencies of oscillation along the three principal axes.
