We review the out-of-equilibrium properties of a self-gravitating gas of particles in the presence of a strong friction and a random force (canonical gas). We assume a bare diffusion coefficient of the form $D(\rho)=T\rho^{1/n}$, where…

We present a first physical application of Tsallis' generalized entropy to the thermodynamics of self-gravitating systems. The stellar system confined in a spherical cavity of radius $r_e$ exhibits an instability, so-called gravothermal…
