Plane galactic orbits near the particle resonance of a spiral field have been calculated numerically. Besides the ring type orbits, i.e. orbits filling a ring around the galactic center, there are orbits librating near the potential maxima at the co-rotation distance (Lagrangian points). This effect tends to disrupt the spiral arms at the co-rotation distance.
