Abstract
We study the regular families of periodic orbits in an analytical planar ga lactic potential, using the method of Lindstedt. We obtain analytical expre ssions describing these orbits, validity of which is not limited to small a mplitudes. We can delimit, in the space of the parameters, the domain of ex istence of each family of orbits.
