Scientific paper

This paper describes two self-similar solutions of the isotropic, orbit-averaged Fokker-Planck equation, which is a model for the evolution of star clusters. They are analogues of two previously published self-similar solutions of the fluid equations for the evolution of star clusters. One corresponds to the late stages of core collapse, and the other to early stages of post-collapse evolution. Comparison of the solutions of the two models provides some evidence on the appropriate choice of thermal conductivity for the fluid models.
