Classifying Orbits of Low and High Energy Stars in Axisymmetric Disk Galaxies

The ordered or chaotic character of orbits of stars moving in the meridional (R, z) plane of an analytic axisymmetric time-independent disk galaxy model with an additional spherically symmetric central nucleus is investigated. Our aim is to determine how the total energy influences the orbital struc...
