Gaseous models.
Abstract
It is possible to understand the physics of self-gravitating systems in terms of gaseous models in so far that their global natures and effects of self-gravity are concerned. Here is summarized what is known in idealized gaseous models. They include gravothermal collapse/expansion in linear and non-linear regimes, and post-collapse evolution with gravothermal oscillation. Also discussed are their relations with discrete systems and with treatment in statistical mechanics.
