Abstract

Consideration is given to the role played by a confining box in the energy dependence of the phase volume, g(E), of a system. This issue is related to the conservation of the total momentum and the position of the center of mass. A curious behavior of g(E) in the case of gravitationally bound binaries is pointed out.
