Dynamical evolution of rotating stellar systems – II . Post - collapse , equal mass system
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the first post core collapse models of initially rotating star clusters, using the numerical solution of an orbit-averaged 2D Fokker-Planck equation. Based on the code developed by Einsel & Spurzem (1999), we have improved the speed and the stability and included the steady three-body binary heating source. We have confirmed that rotating clusters, whether they are in a tidal field or not, evolve significantly faster than non-rotating ones. Consequences for observed shapes, density distribution, and kinematic properties of young and old star clusters are discussed. The results are compared with gaseous and 1D Fokker-Planck models in the non-rotating case.

N-body Models of Rotating Globular Clusters
We have studied the dynamical evolution of rotating globular clusters with direct N -body models. Our initial models are rotating King models; we obtained results for both equal-mass systems and systems composed out of two mass components. Previous investigations using a Fokker-Planck solver have revealed that rotation has a noticeable influence on stellar systems like globular clusters, which ...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of rotating dense stellar systems with embedded black holes
Evolution of self-gravitating rotating dense stellar systems (e.g. globular clusters, galactic nuclei) with embedded black holes is investigated. The interaction between the black hole and stellar component in differential rotating flattened systems is followed. The interplay between velocity diffusion due to relaxation and black hole star accretion is followed together with cluster rotation us...
متن کاملStellar evolution with rotation XII: Pre–supernova models
We describe the latest developments of the Geneva stellar evolution code in order to model the pre– supernova evolution of rotating massive stars. Rotating and non–rotating stellar models at solar metallicity with masses equal to 12, 15, 20, 25, 40 and 60 M⊙ were computed from the ZAMS until the end of the core silicon burning phase. We took into account meridional circulation, secular shear in...
متن کاملDynamical Evolution of Rotating Stellar Systems: III. The Effect of Mass Spectrum
We have studied the dynamical evolution of rotating star clusters with mass spectrum using a Fokker-Planck code. As a simplest multi-mass model, we first investigated the two-component clusters. Rotation is found to accelerate the dynamical evolution through the transfer of angular momentum outward, as well as from the high masses to the low masses. However, the degree of acceleration depends s...
