Monte Carlo Simulations of Star Clusters - IV. Calibration of the Monte Carlo Code and Comparison with Observations for the Open Cluster M67
Mirek Giersz, Douglas C. Heggie, Jarrod R. Hurley
We outline the steps needed in order to incorporate the evolution of single and binary stars into a particular Monte Carlo code for the dynamical evolution of a star cluster. We ca…

Monte Carlo Simulations of Star Clusters
Mirek Giersz
A revision of Stodółkiewicz's Monte Carlo code is used to simulate evolution of large star clusters. The survey on the evolution of multi-mass N-body systems influenced by the tida…

Dynamical Simulations: Methods and Comparisons
D. C. Heggie, M. Giersz, R. Spurzem +1
We review recent progress in computational methods for studying the dynamical evolution of large star clusters. After describing some highlights of a new comparison of different mo…
