In this review we consider various ring structures that are observed in galaxies. Formation and evolution of the rings are interesting problems in studies of galactic morphology. They are related to such fundamental aspects of galactic…

The planetary dynamics of $4/3$, $3/2$, $5/2$, $3/1$ and $4/1$ mean motion resonances is studied by using the model of the general three body problem in a rotating frame and by determining families of periodic orbits for each resonance.…

We study the frequency and dimensions of inner and outer rings in the local Universe as a function of disk parameters and the amplitude of non-axisymmetries. We use the 1320 not-highly inclined disk galaxies ($i<65^{\circ}$) from the S$^4$G…

In this series of papers we investigate the orbital structure of 3D models representing barred galaxies. In the present introductory paper we use a fiducial case to describe all families of periodic orbits that may play a role in the…

We perform a detailed study of the chaotic component in mixed-type Hamiltonian systems on the example of a family of billiards [introduced by Robnik in J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 16, 3971 (1983)]. The phase space is divided into a grid of cells…

We consider a scenario of formation of the spiral structure in barred galaxies. This scenario includes the new non-resonant mechanism of elongation of spirals, due to the characteristic behaviour of the gravitational potential beyond the…

The spiral structure of a spiral galaxy can be seen through different observational tracers such as the dust in the interstellar medium, the free electrons in ionized regions, the molecular gas, or the atomic hydrogen in H{\alpha} regions.…

The main goal of this work is to quantify, through a robust methodology, the contribution of invariant manifolds to the formation of spiral arms in a pure N-body simulation, setting up a machinery to perform similar tests in other and more…

We have observed 60 edge-on galaxies in the NIR in order to study the stellar distribution in galaxies with box/peanut-shaped bulges. The much smaller amount of dust extinction at these wavelengths allows us to identify in almost all target…

(Abridge) Bars are very common in the centre of the disc galaxies, and they drive the evolution of their structure. A volume-limited sample of 2106 disc galaxies extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 was studied to…
