Potential in the central bar structure
Abstract
The figure-eight orbits obtained by Miller and Smith (1979) inside the central bar structure of galaxies are used to establish possible potential functions which result in such orbits. It is shown that r to the -6th power type potentials are special cases of distance and angle-dependent potential functions.
