===Second-Order Tensor Virial Equations=== In discussing the origin of the second-order (tensor) virial equation, [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>] will continue to serve as our primary reference. However, in §4.3 of their widely referenced textbook titled, "Galactic Dyamics," Binney & Tremaine (1987) — hereafter [<b>[[Appendix/References#BT87|<font color="red">BT87</font>]]</b>] — also present a detailed derivation of the second-order virial equation, which they refer to as the ''tensor virial theorem.'' Because their presentation is set in the context of discussions of the structure of ''stellar dynamic'' systems, the [<b>[[Appendix/References#BT87|<font color="red">BT87</font>]]</b>] derivation fundamentally originates from the collisionless Boltzmann equation. In what follows we will identify where various key equations appear in [<b>[[Appendix/References#BT87|<font color="red">BT87</font>]]</b>], as well as in [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>], because it can sometimes be useful to compare derivations made from the stellar-dynamic versus the fluid-dynamic perspective. ====Derivation==== [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>, §11(b), p. 22] The second-order (tensor) virial equations <font color="#007700">are obtained by multiplying [the Euler equation] by <math>x_j</math> and integrating over the volume, <math>V</math></font>.
