Abstract
As already noted (see beginning of Chapter III), under spherical collisionless gravitating systems we understand the following objects: (1) globular clusters of stars; (2) spherical galaxies (or, roughly, elliptical galaxies with not very great oblateness); (3) systems of globular clusters (for example, in our Galaxy); (4) compact clusters of galaxies.
