摘要
Stability of a self-gravitating ring about a central body is considered. The purpose is to derive a bound on the mass of the ring in order that the system will be linearly stable. Our bound will, in some cases, be the best possible bound. The bound is also expanded as an asymptotic series. Comparisons of our result are made with respect to previous analyses performed by Tisserand, Pendse and Willerding.
