Description
This work studies the radial orbit instability for a family of anisotropic isochrone spheres by a numerical linear stability analysis, and then compares the results with N-body simulations. A new way of choosing basis functions for the modes is introduced that allows spatially infinite systems to be handled without truncation. (author)
