Evolution of Velocity Dispersions in Some Collapsing Spheroidal Distributions of Mass. (1986). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 12(1), 109. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1986rmxaa..12..109m

Abstract

Numerical integration of a sample of orbits performed in the gravitational field of some collapsing spheroidal distributions of mass leads to the following main results: (a) neither the time of collapse nor the mass distribution in the system seem to play a dominant role in the dynamical of the calculated sample of orbits, (b) the form of the velocity distribution, initially `spherical', is approximately conserved in time.
