Challenge 2

Clusters with a mass function

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

Questions to address:

  1. Can the mass segregation be reproduced by multi-mass King models?
  2. How important is the effect of mass segregation?
  3. How correct is the assumption of energy equipartition?

Data: Snapshots of simulations with a mass function (no stellar evolution) to be uploaded shortly.

The relevant snapshots from simulations with a mass function are available in section B of the Mock data page.

The definition of the stellar types (KSTAR) used in the NBODY6 snapshots can be found in the Appendix section of the Mock data page.
