Gravothermal Catastrophe with a Cosmological Constant
arXiv:1206.2839 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.104005
Abstract
We investigate the effect of a cosmological constant on the gravothermal catastrophe in the Newtonian limit. A negative cosmological constant acts as a thermodynamic `destabilizer'. The Antonov radius gets smaller and the instability occurs, not only for negative but also for positive energy values. A positive cosmological constant acts as a `stabilizer' of the system, which, in this case, exhibits a novel `reentrant behaviour'. In addition to the Antonov radius we find a second critical radius, where an `inverse Antonov transition' occurs; a series of local entropy maxima is restored.
