Lecture

Stellar Orbits: Stability and Resonances

Description

This lecture covers the stability of orbits around Lagrange points, the shape of the effective potential, and the interpretation of stellar orbits in weak rotating bars. It also discusses the appearance of x2 (stable) and x3 (unstable) orbits, bifurcation phenomena, and Lindblad resonances in galactic dynamics.
