N-body Models of Open Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 2007
Abstract
N-body simulations of open cluster evolution with primordial binaries are reviewed. In particular, recent results arising from models with initial N in the range of 20000–100000 bodies are compared to earlier idealized models with N ~ 2000. Efforts to model real clusters are discussed, including how limitations of the models such as simplified initial conditions will be addressed in the near future.
