Stellar Dynamics: N-Body Problem, Stellar Dynamics: Globular Clusters

Scientific paper

One of the goals of stellar dynamics is the understanding of globular star clusters. In the past the large number of stars in these systems has led to the need for simplified mathematical models, but the direct simulation of a small cluster using the N-body equations should soon become possible. This paper describes some of the computational techniques which are now being developed for this purpose. One problem to which particular attention is paid is the treatment of close approaches by a small number of bodies. Another section of the paper summarizes some facts and ideas about the growths of errors in large numerical N-body simulations.
