the criterion that a rotating disc becomes bar-unstable when its ratio of rotational kinetic energy to gravitational energy is too high, suggesting stabilizing halos.

In astrophysics, Ostriker-Peebles criterion refers to the criterion that a rotating disc becomes bar-unstable when its ratio of rotational kinetic energy to gravitational energy is too high, suggesting stabilizing halos. This meaning comes from Ostriker (1973) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
