The Role of Binaries in the Dynamical Evolution of the Core of a Globular Cluster
Piet Hut
The size of the core is one of the main diagnostics of the evolutionary state of a globular cluster. Much has been learned over the last few years about the behavior of the core ra…

Exchange Cross Sections for Hard Binaries
Douglas C. Heggie, Piet Hut, Steven L. W. McMillan
We present results on the exchange cross section for the interaction between a hard binary and a field of single stars, for arbitrary masses. The results are based partly on extens…

The Role of Binaries in the Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters
Piet Hut
Three important developments are vastly increasing our understanding of the role of binaries in the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. From the observational side, the Hubbl…
