What is the "plummer radius"? A definition should probably be supplied for that. Either in the page, or with a separate article. Privong 15:43, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I tidied up the article, removed a sentence (a density profile and potential pair that is used to describe the distribution of positions and velocities of particles in dynamical systems -- this is true only to N-body simulations), added a picture. --Lipschitz 18:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plummer-Kuzmin Models[edit]

Is this different to Plummers Model? Seems to be similar if not the same, see http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/Plummer-KuzminModels.html Diverman 01:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
