Thermodynamic instability criterion applied to one dimensional stellar systems

Journal Article · · Astron. Astrophys., v. 27, no. 3, pp. 467-468
OSTI ID:4378707
A general instability criterion based on statistical thermodynamics is applied to the exact nonlinear stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system for a double Water-bag distribution of self-gravitating matter. Perfect agreement is found with recently published results obtained by a linear perturbation stability analysis. (auth)
