Many self-gravitating stellar systems are satellites of larger galaxies and must therefore be subjected to the tidal field of the parent system. Examples are the globular clusters and dwarf elliptical galaxies, which are satellites of our Galaxy. Most previous studies of tidal effects have been highly simplified, e.g. clusters in circular planar galactic orbits (Bok, 1934), or have assumed that the tidal field acts to limit the size of a star cluster without any effects on its internal structure or stability (Spitzer and Shapiro, 1972; Spitzer and Thuan, 1972).
