Effects of Collisions on Globular Cluster Evolution
Abstract
With the Northwestern group's Henon type Monte-carlo code we can now study evolution of realistic globular clusters with primordial binaries, including stellar evolution, and stellar collisions. In this study we focus on the effects of collisions on the evolution and global properties of typical old Galactic globular clusters. We will present our results from this study.
