A rotating star may be modeled as a continuous system of particles attracted to each other by gravity and with a given total mass and prescribed angular velocity. Mathematically this leads to the Euler-Poisson system. We prove an existence…
A typical galaxy consists of a huge number of stars attracted to each other by gravity. For instance, the Milky Way has about $10^{11}$ stars. Thus it is typically modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. We prove an existence theorem for…
This paper gives a condensed review of the history of solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations modeling equilibrium states of rotating stars and galaxies, leading to a recent result of Walter Strauss and the author. This result constructs a…
We consider stability of rotating gaseous stars modeled by the Euler-Poisson system with general equation of states. When the angular velocity of the star is Rayleigh stable, we proved a sharp stability criterion for axi-symmetric…
We consider a star as a compressible fluid subject to gravitational and magnetic forces. This leads to an Euler-Poisson system coupled to a magnetic field, which may be regarded as an MHD model together with gravity. The star executes…
In this paper, we study the steady solutions of Euler-Poisson equations in bounded domains with prescribed angular velocity. This models a rotating Newtonian star consisting of a compressible perfect fluid with given equation of state…
A large class of flat axially symmetric solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system is constructed with the property that the corresponding rotation curves are approximately flat, slightly decreasing or slightly increasing. The rotation curves…
The paper considers Euler-Poisson equations which govern the steady state of a self gravitating, rotating, axi-symmetric stars under the additional assumption that it is composed of incompressible stratified fluid. The original system of…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of $n$ coupled, self-propelled particles: $\ddot r_k = (\alpha-\beta |\dot r_k|^2)\dot r_k - \frac{\gamma}{n}\sum_{m=1}^n(r_k-r_m)$, $r_k\in \mathbb R^2.$ Numerical experiments indicate that,…
This paper investigates the existence and properties of stable, uniformly rotating star-planet systems, i.e. mass ratio is sufficiently small. It is modeled by the Euler-Poisson equations. Following the framework established by McCann for…
This paper presents a systematic study of the properties of non-rotating stellar models governed by the Euler-Poisson system under general equations of state, including the case of polytropic gaseous stars. We revisit and extend existence…
The dynamics of gaseous stars can be described by the Euler-Poisson system. Inspired by Rein's stability result for $\gamma>{4/3}$, we prove the nonlinear instability of steady states for the adiabatic exponent $\gamma={6/5}$ in spherically…
We consider a two-dimensional, incompressible fluid body, together with self-induced interactions. The body is perturbed by an external particle with small mass. The whole configuration rotates uniformly around the common center of mass. We…
The motion of a continuum of matter subject to gravitational interaction is classically described by the Euler-Poisson system. Prescribing the density of matter at initial and final times, we are able to obtain weak solutions for this…
The classical model of an isolated selfrgavitating gaseous star is given by the Euler-Poisson system with a polytropic pressure law $P(\rho)=\rho^\gamma$, $\gamma>1$. For any $1<\gamma<\frac43$, we construct an infinite-dimensional family…
We consider stability of non-rotating gaseous stars modeled by the Euler-Poisson system. Under general assumptions on the equation of states, we proved a turning point principle (TPP) that the stability of the stars is entirely determined…
We obtain a natural extension of the Vlasov-Poisson system for stellar dynamics to spaces of constant Gaussian curvature $\kappa\ne 0$: the unit sphere $\mathbb S^2$, for $\kappa>0$, and the unit hyperbolic sphere $\mathbb H^2$, for…
The paper considers Euler-Poisson equations which govern the steady state of a self gravitating, rotating, axi-symmetric fluid under the additional assumption that it is incompressible and stratified. In this setting we show that the…
We consider spherically symmetric steady states of the Vlasov-Poisson system, which describe equilibrium configurations of galaxies or globular clusters. If the microscopic equation of state, i.e., the dependence of the steady state on the…
We consider a special case of the three dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system where the particles are restricted to a plane, a situation that is used in astrophysics to model extremely flattened galaxies. We prove the existence of steady states…
