Scientific paper

We examine the longitudinal distribution of the stars escaping from a
cluster along tidal tails. Using both theory and simulations, we show
that, even in the case of a star cluster in a circular galactic orbit,
when the tide is steady, the distribution exhibits maxima at a distance
of many tidal radii from the cluster.
