====== Challenge 1: single mass clusters ====== ==== Isolated models: ==== The N-body models can be described as: - Initial conditions: Plummer (1911), N = 32768, all stars the same mass - No primordial binaries, no central black hole - Isolation The data has the following format. Note that the first column can be used to recognise binaries (MN=2). The single components of the binaries are not given. ^ $M\times N$ ^ $X$ ^ $Y$ ^ $Z$ ^ $V_x$ ^ $V_y$ ^ $V_z$ ^ | [NBODY] | [NBODY] ||| [NBODY] ||| - {{:data:32k_logt4.tab.gz}} $T=10^4$ - {{:data:32k_logt5.tab.gz}} $T=10^5$ - {{:data:32k_logt6.tab.gz}} $T=10^6$ - {{:data:32k_logt7.tab.gz}} $T=10^7$ ==== Tidally limited models: ==== The N-body models can be described as: - Initial conditions: Plummer (1911), N = 65536, all stars the same mass - No primordial binaries, no central black hole - Circular orbit in a weak tidal field due to a point-mass galaxy with initially r_jacobi/r_h = 100 The model was ran until complete dissolution (roughly 6e5 N-body times) with Sverre Aarseth's ''NBODY6''. Two-body relaxation drives the evolution: core collapse occurs at roughly T = 1.2e4 and the cluster expands until it fills the Roche-volume roughly half-mass the evolution (T = 3e5). More details about this run can be found [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.422.3415A|Alexander & Gieles (2012)]]. Below are 3 snapshots at interesting moments of the evolution. The Heggie & Mathieu (1986) N-body units are used: G=M=r_vir=1 (i.e. the mass of individual stars is m=1/65536).
