The Distribution of Bright Stars in the SMC Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Star counts can be used to investigate radial distribution of stars of different mass. Relaxation through stellar encounters is a mechanism that does make a distrinction between stellar masses, so systems that have undergone such relaxation should show differences in distribution between stars of high and low mass. That does not happen for systems that have undergone an initial violent relaxation since this type of relaxation treats all masses equally.
