This lecture covers the study of stellar orbits and the global motions of stars in the Milky Way. Topics include the Oort constants, integral of motion, surfaces of section, and the estimation of vertical frequency. The instructor explains the concept of integrals of motion and their importance in describing stellar orbits in different potentials.
