Orbit Structure Shown below are examples of orbits identified in the strongly triaxial merger remnant produced by encounter A1 . The orbit movies all follow the same format. The particle is a white point which leaves a green trail as it orbits in the potential. At the same time, the view point circles around to show the orbit in three dimensions. MPEG movie Box orbit.
Boxes are the main orbit family fully consistent with triaxial density distributions.
MPEG movie X-Tube orbit. MPEG movie Z-Tube orbit. MPEG movie Fish orbit. MPEG movie Pretzel orbit.
