TL;DR: In this article, the authors used N-body simulations to model the 12 Gyr evolution of a suite of star clusters with identical initial stellar mass functions over a range of initial cluster masses, sizes, and orbits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of primordial binary populations in Galactic globular clusters were constrained using the MOCCA Monte Carlo code for cluster evolution, and the results were compared to the observations of Milone et al. using the photometric binary populations as proxies for the true underlying distributions, in order to test the hypothesis that the data are consistent with an universal initial binary fraction near unity and the binary orbital parameter distributions of Kroupa.

TL;DR: In this article, N-body simulations of star clusters orbiting in a spherically symmetric smooth galactic potential have been performed to test the historical assumption that the tidal radius of a cluster is imposed at perigalacticon.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of orbital eccentricity on the dynamical evolution of star clusters was explored using N-body simulations and the authors found that the corresponding circular orbit which best describes the evolution of a cluster on an eccentric orbit is much less than its semi-major axis or time averaged galactocentric distance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the radial distribution of light-element multiple populations (LE-MPs) in the massive and dense globular cluster M80 is presented, based on a combination of UV and optical Hubble Space Telescope data.
