Abstract

A complete family of asymmetric periodic oscillations of a charged particle in the meridian plane of a magnetic dipole is presented. It begins at a bifurcation with the principal family of symmetric periodic oscillations and terminates in a flat equatorial oscillation. It consists of many stable and unstable segments.
