Stellar-Dynamics of Young Star Clusters
Pavel Kroupa
Abstract
The stellar-dynamical evolution of bound star clusters during the first few Myr is dominated by binary-binary and binary-star interactions, the rapid sinking of the most massive stars to the centre of the clusters and mass loss from evolving stars. The consequences of these processes for the binary and stellar population in clusters, and for the star clusters as a whole, are studied by following the evolution over 150 Myr of a library of compact cluster models containing up to 104 stars.
