This lecture covers orbits in non-axisymmetric potentials, including the Jacobi integral, Lagrange points, and weak bars. It explores surfaces of section in planar potentials, visualizing phase space and integral of motion. The lecture also discusses box orbits, loop orbits, and the evolution of orbits with flattening.
