Star Cluster Ecology I: A Cluster Core with Encounters between Single Stars
Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Piet Hut, Frank Verbunt
Abstract
Star clusters with a high central density contain an ecological network of evolving binaries, affected by interactions with passing stars, while in turn affecting the energy budget of the cluster as a whole by giving off binding energy. This is the first paper in a series aimed at providing the tools for increasingly realistic simulations of these ecological networks.
