Abstract: We give a complete characterization of the boundary traces

v a r p h i_{i}

(

i = 1, d o t s, K

) supporting spiraling waves, rotating with a given angular speed

o m e g a

, which appear as singular limits of competition-diffusion systems of the type [ frac{partial}{partial t} u_i -Delta u_i = mu u_i -�eta u_i sum_{j eq i} a_{ij} u_j ext{ in } Omega imesmathbb{R}^+, qquad u_i = varphi_i ext{ on

p a r t i a l O m e g a i m e s m a t h b b R^{+}

}, qquad u_i(mathbf{x},0) = u_{i,0}(mathbf{x}) ext{ for

m a t h b f x i n O m e g a

} ] as

. Here

O m e g a

is a rotationally invariant planar set and

a_{i j} > 0

for every

i

and

j

. We tackle also the homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, as well as entire solutions in the plane. As a byproduct of our analysis we detect explicit families of eternal, entire solutions of the pure heat equation, parameterized by

o m e g a i n m a t h b b R

, which reduce to homogeneous harmonic polynomials for

o m e g a = 0

.
