Frequency maps for dark matter particles (top row), halo stars (bottom row) selected within 50 kpc of the galactic center. Left: frequencies computed in Cartesian coordinates; right: frequencies computed in cylindrical coordinates. Colors represent binding energies of particles and dashed lines mark major resonances (see text).
