Abstract
We confirm numerically the presence of shape invariant wave packets of highly excited electrons in the hydrogen atom in a strong circularly polarized electromagnetic field. In this case, the electron's motion i n the vicinity of the saddle point created by the Coulomb and the cons tant electric field is stabilized by the action of Coriolis and centri fugal forces in the rotating frame.
