Relationship between Poincaré Sections and Spectral Characteristics of Orbits of Globular Clusters in the Central Region of the Galaxy
摘要
In the paper, orbital dynamics, regular or chaotic, of globular clusters (GCs) in the central region of the Galaxy, which is subject to the greatest influence of the rotating bar, has been studied. Such methods for determining chaos as Poincaré sections and spectral methods have been compared. The relationship between the Poincaré sections and the spectral characteristics of the orbits has been estimated. The sample includes 45 globular clusters in the central region of the Galaxy with a radius of 3.5 kpc. To form the 6D-phase space required for integrating the orbits, the most accurate astrometric data to date from the Gaia satellite, as well as new refined average distances, have been used. The following, most realistic, bar parameters have been adopted: the mass is
