The range of core size of postcollapse clusters supported by primordial binaries

We investigate how the core size of globular clusters in a postcollapse phase driven by primordial binaries depends upon the parameters of the distribution of the binary binding energy and the abundance of the binaries. We show that the variation of these quantites increases the plausible range for...

Zusammenfassung:We investigate how the core size of globular clusters in a postcollapse phase driven by primordial binaries depends upon the parameters of the distribution of the binary binding energy and the abundance of the binaries. We show that the variation of these quantites increases the plausible range for the core size.
