moment equations of the collisionless Boltzmann equation that relate the density, mean motions and velocity dispersions of a stellar system to its potential.

In galactic astronomy, Jeans equations refers to moment equations of the collisionless Boltzmann equation that relate the density, mean motions and velocity dispersions of a stellar system to its potential. This meaning comes from Jeans (1922) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
