Abstract

The influence of galaxy's triaxiality on the form and orientation of closed orbits laying near the central galactic body being modeled by triaxial ellipsoid is investigated. The inclination of closed orbits around a galaxy depends on the galaxy's triaxiality.

Keywords: nonsymmetric gravitational field; galaxies; closed orbits
