Principles of Stellar Dynamics (Dover Phoenix Editions)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this classic text, a Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist investigates two areas. The first concerns problems in which the time of relaxation of a stellar system is central. His method consists of analyzing the effects of stellar encounters in terms of the two-body problem of classical dynamics and applying this theory to the dynamics of star clusters. The second area examines problems centering around Liouville's theorem and the solutions of the equation of continuity: here, the author discusses the dynamic implications of the existence of a field of differential motions, which appears to be the most striking kinematic feature of the galaxy and the extragalactic systems. 1942 ed.
