Resonant Orbits in Triaxial Galaxies
Box orbits in triaxial potentials are generically thin, that is, they lie
close in phase space to a resonant orbit satisfying a relation of the form
l\omega_1 +m\omega_2+n\omega_3=0 between the three fundamental frequencies.
Resonant orbits are confined to a membrane; they play roughly the same role, in
three dimensions, that closed orbits play in two. Stable resonant orbits avoid
the center of the potential; orbits that are thick enough to pass near the
center are typically stochastic. Very near the center, where the gravitational
potential is dominated by the black hole, resonant orbits continue to exist,
including at least one family whose elongation is parallel to the long axes of
the triaxial figure.Comment: 20 Latex pages, 11 Postscript figures. Submitted to The Astronomical
