3 Introductory remarks What? Why? Build appropriate models Helps in understanding observations Discover obscured matter Understand the origin of spiral structure, bars, bulges, etc. Restrictions Linear theory Fluid (gas): no dissipation (Euler eq.), barotropic eq. of state Starts: CBE no collisions, t < t relax continuous DF f (x, v, t)
4 Homogenious systems Innite homogeneous media
5 Homogenious systems Innite uid medium Qualitative explanation R J vs 2 (1) Gρ 0 Approaches: modal and initial value problem A normal mode of an oscillating system is a pattern of motion in which all parts of the system move sinusoidally with the same frequency and with a xed phase relation. Fluid: Jeans instability HD eq-s (continuity, Euler, barotropic) Poissoin eq. Jeans swindle ω 2 = v 2 s (k 2 k 2 J ), k2 J 4πGρ 0 v 2 s, λ J = πv 2 s Gρ 0 (2)

10 Homogenious systems Innite stellar medium K.M. Case (1959). Conclusion:... while the operator occurring in the linearized equation for... oscillations is not bounded and self-adjoint it does share many of the properties of such operators. In particular the eigenfunctions satisfy analogous completeness and orthogonality relations. The dierence is manifested in that the eigenfunctions must be understood in the sense of the theory of distributions (which is physically reasonable in this case) and that some of the eigenvalues can be complex.
