On the Cover

Contour plots and density profiles of a rotating, self-gravitating N-body system showing the formation of a stable double cluster (left) and an unstable ring (right) at different energies. The double-cluster structure illustrates the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry at intermediate energy and high angular momentum.
