Review text

To investigate the motion of stars, the author uses a composite axially symmetric galaxy model consisting of disk-halo, bulge, nucleus and dark-halo components. In particular, the following topics are discussed: 1) the motion for different values of angular momentum; 2) different kinds of orbits banana and loop-like orbits etc.; 3) how the motion of stars is affected by the presence or absence of various components of the galaxy. It is shown that in the absence of the bulge, the area of chaotic motion in the section surface increases significantly. This explains why a large number of low angular momentum stars have chaotic orbits in galaxies with massive nuclei and without bulges.
