We prove nonlinear stability of compactly supported expanding star solutions of the mass-critical gravitational Euler-Poisson system. These special solutions were discovered by Goldreich and Weber in 1980. The expansion rate of such solutions can be either self-similar or non-self-similar (linear), and we treat both types. An important outcome of our stability results is the existence of a new class of global-in-time radially symmetric solutions, which are not homologous and therefore not encompassed by the existing works. Using Lagrangian coordinates we reformulate the associated free-boundary problem as a degenerate quasilinear wave equation on a compact spatial domain. The problem is mass-critical with respect to an invariant rescaling and the analysis is carried out in similarity variables. (c) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
