The Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters with Stellar Mass Loss

The dynamical evolution of globular clusters is studied using the orbit-averaged multicomponent Fokker-Planck equation. The original code developed by Cohn(1980) is modified to include the effect of stellar evolutions. Plummer's model is chosen as the initial density distribution with the initi...
