Universal structure of two and three dimensional self-gravitating systems in the quasi-equilibrium state

Abstract

We study a universal structure of two and three dimensional self-gravitating systems in the quasi-equilibrium state. It is shown numerically that the two dimensional self-gravitating system in the quasi-equilibrium state has the same kind of density profile as the three dimensional one. We develop a phenomenological model to describe this universal structure by using a special Langevin equation with a distinctive random noise to self-gravitating systems. We find that the density profile derived theoretically is consistent well with results of observations and simulations.
