Henry Kandrup's Ideas About Relaxation of Stellar Systems
arXiv:astro-ph/0502169 · doi:10.1196/annals.1350.002
Abstract
Henry Kandrup wrote prolifically on the problem of relaxation of stellar systems. His picture of relaxation was significantly more refined than the standard description in terms of phase mixing and violent relaxation. In this article, I summarize Henry's work in this and related areas.
