Selfgravitating Gas Spheres in a Box and Relativistic Clusters: Relation between Dynamical and Thermodynamical Stability
Gennady S. Bisnovatyi-Kogan, Marco Merafina
We derive a variational principle for the dynamical stability of a cluster as a gas sphere in a box. Newtonian clusters are always dynamically stable and, for relativistic clusters…

A one-dimensional toy model of globular clusters
Duccio Fanelli, Marco Merafina, Stefano Ruffo
We introduce a one-dimensional toy model of globular clusters. The model is a version of the well-known gravitational sheets system, where we take additionally into account mass an…
