The virial theorem and stellar equilibrium

The virial theorem is a fundamental analytical result in the mechanics of particle systems, as it establishes a rigorous connection between the time averages of kinetic and potential energies. Its validity extends to systems in dynamic equilibrium, where internal forces are governed by potentials that depend on distance according to a power law, as in the case of universal gravitation or electrostatics.
The work is written in italian.
