This is the third in a series of papers studying the astrophysics and cosmology of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our sample comprises 40 clusters identified as being dynamically relaxed and hot (i.e., massive) in Papers I…
The problem of the insensitivity of the macroscopic behavior of any thermodynamical system to partitioning generates a bias between the reproducibility of its macroscopic behavior viewed as the simplest form of causality and its long-term…
In this paper, the emergence of macroscopic-scale pseudo time-irreversibility is studied in the closed classical many-body system of pair interacting particles. First, exact continuum equations are derived to the Hamiltonian dynamics…
In contrast to the canonical ensemble where thermodynamic functions are smooth for all finite system sizes, the microcanonical entropy can show nonanalytic points also for finite systems, even if the Hamiltonian is smooth. The relation…
The nature of statistics, statistical mechanics and consequently the thermodynamics of stochastic systems is largely determined by how the number of states $W(N)$ depends on the size $N$ of the system. Here we propose a scaling expansion of…
Our previous works have shown the statistical mechanics of self-gravitating system. In this paper, we will show its thermodynamics and compare our results with observations and simulations. We propose that our statistical mechanics can be…
The statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems has not been well understood, and still remains an open question so far. In a previous study by Kang & He, we showed that the fluid approximation may give a clue to further investigate…

We revisit the issues on the thermodynamic property of stellar self-gravitating system arising from Tsallis' non-extensive entropy. Previous papers (Taruya & Sakagami, Physica A 307 (2002) 185 (cond-mat/0107494); ibid. (2002) in press…
We study through numerical simulation the spherical collapse of isothermal gas in Newtonian gravity. We observe a critical behavior which occurs at the threshold of gravitational instability leading to core formation. For a given initial…

The thermodynamic instabilities of the self-gravitating, classical ideal gas are studied in the case of static, spherically symmetric configurations in General Relativity taking into account the Tolman-Ehrenfest effect. One type of…
We revisit the Rayleigh--Riabouchinsky paradox in dimensional analysis by making explicit the bridge between thermodynamics and the mechanical interpretation of temperature. Boltzmann's constant $k_B$ acts as a dimensional unifier, leading…
Most attempts to unify general relativity with the standard model of particle physics predict violations of the equivalence principle associated in some way with the composition of the test masses. We test this idea by using observational…
A model one-dimensional self consistent steady state collisionless self-gravitating system in which all the particles have the same energy is presented. This has the remarkable property that the position and velocity of the particles…

The evolution of an isolated over-density represents a useful toy model to test the accuracy of a cosmological N-body code in the non linear regime as it is approximately equivalent to that of a truly isolated cloud of particles, with same…
