Remarks about the thermodynamics of astrophysical systems in mutual   interaction and related notions
  General aspects about the thermodynamics of astrophysical systems are discussed, overall, those concerning to astrophysical systems in mutual interaction (or the called \emph{open astrophysical systems}). A special interest is devoted along the paper to clarify several misconceptions that are still common in the recent literature, such as the direct application to the astrophysical scenario of notions and theoretical frameworks that were originally conceived to deal with extensive systems of the everyday practice (large systems with short-range interactions).
