The formation of self-gravitating systems is studied by simulating the collapse of a set of N particles which are generated from several distribution functions. We first establish that the results of such simulations depend on N for small values of N. We complete a previous work by Aguilar & Merritt concerning the morphological segregation between spherical and elliptical equilibria. We find and interpret two new segregations: one concerns the equilibrium core size and the other the equilibrium temperature. All these features are used to explain some of the global properties of self-gravitating objects: origin of globular clusters and central black hole or shape of elliptical galaxies.", pages = "62-72(11)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/mnr/2004/00000348/00000001/art00009" doi = "doi:10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07294.x" }
