Abstract: Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical studies of fewparticle vortex clusters in Bose-Einstein condensates, we consider the ordinary differential equations of motion and systematically examine settings for up to N = 6 vortices. We analyze the existence of corresponding stationary state configurations and also consider their spectral stability properties. We compare our particle model results with the predictions of the full partial differential equation system. Whenever possible, we propose generalizations of these results in the context of clusters of N vortices. Some of these, we can theoretically establish, especially so for the N-vortex polygons, while others we state as conjectures, e.g. for the N-vortex line equilibrium.
