Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the gravitational instability of neutral particles and plasma oscillations in charged gas clouds. The author takes a kinetic approach to study a system of neutral particles interacting under gravitational forces, recapitulating the Jeans instability in the limit of long wavelengths. As the wavelength diminishes to a critical distance, the instability vanishes, consistent with thermal-gravitational estimates for the diameter of a star. The author also examines a one-component charged spherical plasma and finds plasma oscillations in the central region. The book provides valuable insights into the behavior of neutral gas and charged plasma systems, offering a deeper understanding of their dynamics and stability.
