We investigate the dynamical evolution of a star cluster in an external tidal field by using N-body simulations, with focus on the effects of…
Kinematical fingerprints of star cluster early dynamical evolution
We study the eff ects of the external tidal fi eld on the violent relaxation phase of star clusters dynamical evolution, with particular attention to the kinematical…
Rotating Globular Clusters
We present a dynamical analysis of the photometry and three-dimensional kinematics of ω Cen, 47 Tuc, and M15, by means of a recently introduced…
Self-consistent models of quasi-relaxed rotating stellar systems
We present two new classes of self-consistent axisymmetric models characterized by the presence of rigid and differential internal rotation, respectively. A full description in terms…
