Multilayer Spherical Stellar Clusters with Uniform Density

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

Various solutions of the kinetic equation for the equilibrium of a gravitating sphere of uniform density with a quadratic gravitational potential and a linear dependence of gravitational force on radius are examined. New analytic solutions are obtained for a uniform sphere with a hollow spherical volume and central mass inside the sphere. Solutions are also obtained for an arbitrary number of spherical layers with the same density, but with different equilibrium distribution functions.
