Description
Using dynamical simulation we study a gravitational phase transition in a system of N rotating mass shells at constant temperature. Even for N=8 we find evidence of the transition in each direction, and improved agreement with mean field predictions for larger values. Surprising features are powerlaw relaxation and system wide correlation
