How can I create vertical dashed outline?

Question

First of all, I'm sorry if I am not supposed to post how-tos.

I want to create this image in Illustrator:

I would like to know how to create those vertical dashes (second outside circle).

I can add invididual lines, but, if there's a way by stroke or something, it'll not just look perfect but also be easy. So, can I make such vertical dashes?

You can create one dash by hand and rotate it once on 15 degree. Move Rotation Point into virtual circle center. Then use Ctrl+D shortcut to transform it again

Illustrator moves objects using “transform again” with scale

Have several copies of the same object moved around to different areas in the artboard.
Decide you want to scale them all by 75%.
Select the first object, do the scale.
Select the next object, press Command + D .
The object is scaled, but moved in position relative to the original object. Not on top, but near it.

The answer you already got is perfectly good, but it is also easy to do if you just draw a circle, apply a thick stroke like 12 or 24 points, then check the "Dashed Line" option in the "Stroke" box. You can then set the Dashed Line options to something like .5 or 1 pt thickness with a gap of 12 points or whatever works for your drawing.
