About this document
Kinetic Theory of Self-Gravitating Systems by nom nom is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an introduction to the kinetic theory of self-gravitating systems. Key points include: 1) Self-gravitating systems like galaxies differ from electrostatic plasmas in that gravity endows all particles with the same sign of charge, resulting in globally inhomogeneous systems rather than localized inhomogeneities. 2) Applying the virial theorem to a self-gravitating system of N particles relates the system
