Abstract

Orbit calculations were done in a rotating triaxial system with a density distribution in accordance with recent observations of spiral galaxies. A search was made for simple closed orbits which are tilted with respect to the plane of the galaxy. A family of stable prograde tilted orbits was found which can explain warps as stationary phenomena.
