Abstract

We present Vlasov's equation and its association with Poisson's equation in the context of modelling selfgravitating systems such as globular clusters or galaxies. We first review the classical hypotheses of the model. We continue with a presentation of the HamiltonMorrison structure of Vlasov's equation to study the equilibrium and the stability of selfgravitating systems. Finally, we present some preliminary results concerning some properties of the timedependent solutions of the VlasovPoisson system.
