N-body simulations of Globular Cluster-like systems

The dynamics of self-gravitating globular cluster-like systems, containing N = 10(5) stars, has been simulated for 6 - 10 crossing times. We followed the evolution of three different spherical systems. The first two are quasi-virialized clusters, (with and without the presence, in the centre of mass, of a black hole); the third case regards the initial violent collapse of a spherical system.The dynamics of self-gravitating globular cluster-like systems, containing N = 10(5) stars, has been simulated for 6 - 10 crossing times.
