  We investigate quantum dots with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the
strongly-correlated regime. We show that the presence of the Rashba interaction
enhances the Wigner localization in these systems, making it achievable for
higher densities than those at which it is observed in Rashba-free quantum
dots. Recurring shapes in the pair-correlated densities of the yrast spectrum,
which might be associated with rotational and vibrational modes, are also
reported.
