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:
- What is a suitable model to describe post-collapse clusters? We here consider 3 models:
- Isotropic King (1966)
- Anisotropic Michie King
- 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.
