Stability and instability results for equilibria of a (relativistic) self-gravitating collisionless gas—a review

G Rein - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We review stability and instability results for self-gravitating matter distributions, where the
matter model is a collisionless gas as described by the Vlasov equation. The focus is on the …

On the existence of linearly oscillating galaxies

M Hadžić, G Rein, C Straub - Archive for rational mechanics and analysis, 2022 - Springer
We consider two classes of steady states of the three-dimensional, gravitational Vlasov-
Poisson system: the spherically symmetric Antonov-stable steady states (including the …

EVStabilityNet: predicting the stability of star clusters in general relativity

C Straub, S Wolfschmidt - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a deep neural network which predicts the stability of isotropic steady states of
the asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric Einstein–Vlasov system in Schwarzschild …

Collisionless equilibria in general relativity: stable configurations beyond the first binding energy maximum

S Günther, C Straub, G Rein - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We numerically study the stability of collisionless equilibria in the context of general
relativity. More precisely, we consider the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat Einstein …

Accretion of the relativistic Vlasov gas onto a Kerr black hole

P Li, Y Liu, X Zhai - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the accretion of relativistic Vlasov gas onto a Kerr black hole, regarding the
particles as distributed throughout all of the space, rather than just in the equatorial plane …

A Birman-Schwinger principle in general relativity: linearly stable shells of collisionless matter surrounding a black hole

S Günther, G Rein, C Straub - arXiv preprint arXiv:2204.10620, 2022 - arxiv.org
We develop a Birman-Schwinger principle for the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat
Einstein-Vlasov system. It characterizes stability properties of steady states such as the …

Numerical experiments on stationary, oscillating, and damped spherical galaxy models

C Straub - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.01235, 2024 - arxiv.org
We numerically analyse solutions of the spherically symmetric gravitational Vlasov-Poisson
system close to compactly supported stable steady states. We observe either partially …

Stability and oscillations of star clusters in general relativity

S Wolfschmidt - 2024 - epub.uni-bayreuth.de
We study the dynamics of self-gravitating, collisionless matter in general relativity using the
Einstein-Vlasov system, for which we consider the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat …

Dynamics of gravitational collapse in the axisymmetric Einstein–Vlasov system

E Ames, H Andréasson, O Rinne - Classical and Quantum …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We numerically investigate the dynamics near black hole formation of solutions to the
Einstein–Vlasov system in axisymmetry. Our results are obtained using a particle-in-cell and …

Pulsating Galaxies

C Straub - 2024 - epub.uni-bayreuth.de
In this thesis we investigate the existence of pulsating solutions of the spherically symmetric
gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system on a linear level. To this end, we linearise the system …
