Abstract: In a previous work cite{An1} matter models such that the energy density hogeq0, and the radial- and tangential pressures pgeq0 and q, satisfy p+qleqOmegaho,Omegageq1, were considered in the context of Buchdahl's inequality. It was proved that static shell solutions of the spherically symmetric Einstein equations obey a Buchdahl type inequality whenever the support of the shell, [R0,R1],R0>0, satisfies R1/R0<1/4. Moreover, given a sequence of solutions such that R1/R0o1, then the limit supremum of 2M/R1 was shown to be bounded by ((2Omega+1)21)/(2Omega+1)2. In this paper we show that the hypothesis that R1/R0o1, can be realized for Vlasov matter, by constructing a sequence of static shells of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system with this property. We also prove that for this sequence not only the limit supremum of 2M/R1 is bounded, but that the limit is ((2Omega+1)21)/(2Omega+1)2=8/9, since Omega=1 for Vlasov matter. Thus, static shells of Vlasov matter can have 2M/R1 arbitrary close to 8/9, which is interesting in view of cite{AR2}, where numerical evidence is presented that 8/9 is an upper bound of 2M/R1 of any static solution of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system.
