Description

This lecture discusses the impact of smooth mass distributions on the force within stellar systems, emphasizing the relaxation time and the influence of discrete stars on orbits. It explores the concept of relaxation time and the accuracy of modeling galaxies as smooth distributions, providing numerical illustrations and estimations for different types of stellar systems.
