Recently, a novel relativistic polyatomic BGK model was suggested by Pennisi and Ruggeri [J. of Phys. Conf. Series, 1035, (2018)] to overcome drawbacks of the Anderson-Witting model and Marle model.In this paper, we prove the unique existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions to the relativistic polyatomic BGK model when the initial data is sufficiently close to a global equilibrium.
