Elliptical orbits for various particles with the same energy, but different trajectories mimicking the accretion studied in this paper (top panel) and particles with different energies (specified by η = r0/rd), but same angular momentum. The orbits clearly tend to approach or even cross each other, which would result in a shock and a spiral arm.
