The Jeans mass is named after the British physicist Sir James Jeans, who considered the process of gravitational collapse within a gaseous cloud. He was able to show that, under appropriate conditions, a cloud, or part of one, would become unstable and begin to collapse when it lacked sufficient gaseous pressure support to balance the force of gravity.
Sir James Hopwood Jeans OM FRS [1] (11 September 1877 – 16 September 1946 [2]) was an English physicist, mathematician and an astronomer.He served as a secretary of the Royal Society from 1919 to 1929, and was the president of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1925 to 1927, and won its Gold Medal.
Jeans Equation simulations place limits on the size of this halo. An example of such an analysis is given by the constraints that can be placed on the dark matter halo within the Milky Way. Using Sloan Digital Sky Survey measurements of our Galaxy, researchers were able to simulate the dark matter halo distribution using Jeans equations. [8]

Meghan Trainor revealed that she's getting a boob job for her confidence, saying she's wanted one "my whole life."
After the instability has run its course, the system is typically "hotter" (the motions are more random) or rounder than before. Instabilities in stellar systems include: Bar instability of rapidly rotating disks; Jeans instability; Firehose instability [4] Gravothermal instability [5] Radial-orbit instability
