Dynamical Evolution of Rotating Globular Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
We have computed simplified globular cluster evolutionary tracks which take into account the effects of internal relaxation, of the cluster rotation, of the galactic tidal field, and, in a cruder way, of stellar evolution and of gravitational shocking. The objectives are first to quantify the influence of rotation in the dynamical evolution of globular clusters; and second, to investigate the evolution of globular cluster angular momentum and flattening (Lagoute and Longaretti 1995a, Longaretti and Lagoute 1995b,c).
