Challenge 1

Equal mass cluster in isolation and in a tidal field

PI: Alice Zocchi
Co-I: Vincent Henault-Brunet
Other active participants: Antonio Sollima, Mark Gieles, Anna Lisa Varri

Questions to address:

  1. What is a suitable model to describe post-collapse clusters? We here consider 3 models:
    1. Isotropic King (1966)
    2. Anisotropic Michie King
  2. How much does tangential anisotropy/retrograde rotation due to the tides matter?

The relevant snapshots from simulations of an isolated cluster and cluster within a tidal field are available in section A of the Mock data page.
