Stars and steam engines: To what extent do thermodynamics and statistical mechanics apply to self-gravitating systems?

Foundational puzzles surround (Newtonian) gravitational thermal physics—a realm in which stars are treated as akin to molecules in a gas. Whether such an enterprise is successful and the domain of thermal physics extends beyond our terrestrial sphere is disputed. There are successes (such as the col...
