Stochasticity of Galactic Orbits of Star Clusters

Abstract: The Lyapunov, Lagrange and Poincaré criteria are tested for orbits of 461 open clusters in an axisymmetric potential. Lyapunov exponents and Poincaré sections are computed, and all of the trajectories are found to be stable according to the Lagrange and Poincaré stability criteria. At the same time, some trajectories appear to exhibit minor instability according to the Lyapunov stability criterion.
