Popis: Two-body energy exchange between stars orbiting massive black holes (MBHs) leads to the formation of a power-law density distribution n(r)~r^(-a) that diverges towards the MBH. For a single mass population, a=7/4 and the flow of stars is much less than N(Comment: Proceedings article to be published in "The Galactic Center: A Window on the Nuclear Environment of Disk Galaxies", ed.
