The initial value problem of stellar dynamics - Vlasov equation, Poisson's equation, density distribution - is investigated for the case of stationary, spherically symmetric solutions. Precise statements about the distribution function \(\phi\) are given; a factorization theorem for \(\phi\) is introduced. Some examples are given.
