Global existence of spherically symmetry solutions for isothermal Euler-Poisson system outside a ball

Abstract

In this paper, we consider an isothermal Euler-Poisson system with self-gravitational force, modeling a compact star such as strange quark star. We prove that there exists a global entropy solution with spherically symmetry outside a ball, through the fractional Lax-Friedrichs scheme and the theory of compensated compactness.
