Yasuhide Sota, Osamu Iguchi, Tohru Tashiro, Masahiro Morikawa

TL;DR
This paper introduces a self-organized relaxation process driven by gravitational fugacity that guides collisionless self-gravitating systems toward a local virial equilibrium, highlighting the critical role of the LV ratio.
Contribution
It demonstrates that gravitational fugacity can be modeled as a functional of the LV ratio and identifies the critical LV ratio value for equilibrium attainment.
Findings
LV relation is achieved when LV ratio exceeds 1 everywhere.
Particle activity is linked to the LV ratio and potential oscillations.
Small perturbations can bring systems to the critical LV state.
Abstract
We propose the self-organized relaxation process which drives a collisionless self-gravitating system (SGS) to the equilibrium state satisfying local virial (LV) relation. During the violent relaxation process, particles can move widely within the time interval as short as a few free fall times, because of the effective potential oscillations. Since such particle movement causes further potential oscillations, it is expected that the system approaches the critical state where such particle activities, which we call gravitational fugacity, is independent of the local position as much as possible. Here we demonstrate that gravitational fugacity can be described as the functional of the LV ratio, which means that the LV ratio is a key ingredient estimating the particle activities against gravitational potential. We also demonstrate that LV relation is attained if the LV ratio exceeds the…
