Abstract

A solution of the Einstein's equations that represents the superposition of a Schwarszchild black hole with both quadrupolar and octopolar terms describing a halo is exhibited. We show that this solution, in the Newtonian limit, is an analog to the well known Hénon-Heiles potential. The integrability of orbits of test particles moving around a black hole representing the galactic center is studied and bounded zones of chaotic behavior are found.
