    The coupled Einstein-Vlasov system describes a self-gravitating collisionless gas within general relativity. The present paper establishes existence of global spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat solutions to small initial data. The proof consists in the construction of a local solution of the Cauchy problem and in some continuation argument. As one conclusion, cosmic censorship holds for the Einstein-Vlasov system.
