摘要：

In this paper the concept of tomography of a collisionless stellar system of general shape is introduced, and a generalization of the Projected Virial Theorem is obtained. Applying the tomographic procedure we then derive a new family of virial equations which coincides with the already known ones for spherically symmetric systems. This result is obtained without any use of explicit expressions for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion, or spherical coordinate system.
