Fokker-Planck models and globular cluster evolution

Numerical models for globular cluster evolution using the orbit-averaged Fokker-Planck equation are compared with observations of the globular clusters M71 and NGC 6397. The first set of models studied includes a mass spectrum, a tidal boundary and allows for a central energy source from the formati...
