Applying the manifold theory to Milky Way models: First steps on morphology and kinematics

We present recent results obtained by applying invariant manifold techniques to analytical models of the Milky Way. It has been shown that invariant manifolds can reproduce successfully the spiral arms and rings in external barred galaxies. Here, for the first time, we apply this theory to Milky Way...
