Kinetic model for diluted gaseous envelopes in a central field

A model based on the kinetic theory is proposed for tenuous gaseous envelopes subject to a central attraction field. Quasi-steady states are studied where the gaseous system shows differential rotation. The density of particles, mean velocity of the gas and kinetic temperature are analytically deter...

Sumario:A model based on the kinetic theory is proposed for tenuous gaseous envelopes subject to a central attraction field. Quasi-steady states are studied where the gaseous system shows differential rotation. The density of particles, mean velocity of the gas and kinetic temperature are analytically determined. The kinematic behavior of the gas is analyzed in detail by studying the hydrodynamic limit of rotationally forced ejection of matter and condition of escape.
