KnowraStellar dynamicsLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Stellar dynamics, each with the reason it gives.All 9Related 3Narrower topic 5Compared with 1Dynamical frictionNarrower topic: Dynamical friction became a central tool for predicting long-term changes in stellar systems.Virial theoremNarrower topic: The theorem links observed stellar motions to the gravitational binding of larger systems.Galactic bulgeNarrower topic: Bulge shape and support depend on the collective motions of its stars.Galactic CenterNarrower topic: The central stars’ motions expose the mass distribution around Sagittarius A*.Stellar kinematicsCompared with: It interprets the motions that stellar kinematics describes without specifying their causes.Subrahmanyan ChandrasekharNarrower topic: Chandrasekhar’s later work expanded from individual stars to the dynamics of stellar systems.Messier 13Related: It explains the cluster's central concentration, orbital motions, and long-term evolution.Vlasov equationRelated: The collisionless Boltzmann equation, mathematically equivalent to a gravitational Vlasov equation, models stellar systems.Vlasov–Fokker–Planck modelRelated: Related kinetic models describe collective gravitational evolution with diffusion from many weak encounters.
