Collisional Dynamics of Black Holes, Star Clusters and Galactic Nuclei

  • Conference paper

Summary

We use high-precision direct N-body integration to study questions of the thermodynamic behaviour of dense stellar systems. The processes examined include mass segregation and equipartition processes, the study of planetary orbits in dense star clusters, and stellar orbits in galactic nuclei with thick accretion disks.
