Dense star clusters are spectacular self-gravitating stellar systems in our Galaxy and across
the Universe—in many respects. They populate disks and spheroids of galaxies as well as …

We have used the" dynamical clock" to measure the level of dynamical evolution reached by
three Galactic globular clusters (namely, NGC 3201, NGC 6316, and NGC 6440). This is an …

We present results from a suite of eight direct N-body simulations, performed with nbody6++
gpu, representing realistic models of rotating star clusters with up to 1.1× 105 stars. Our …

We present an analysis of the degree of energy equipartition in a sample of 101 Monte Carlo
numerical simulations of globular clusters (GCs) hosting either a system of stellar-mass …

By means of 3D hydrodynamic simulations, we explore the effects of rotation in the formation
of second-generation (SG) stars in globular clusters (GC). Our simulations follow the SG …

We explore the dynamics of stellar discs in the close vicinity of a supermassive black hole
(SMBH) by means of direct N-body simulations. We show that an isolated nuclear stellar disc …

This paper is the third in a series investigating, by means of N-body simulations, the
implications of an initial radially anisotropic velocity distribution on the dynamics of star …

Several observational studies have shown that many Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are
characterized by internal rotation. Theoretical studies of the dynamical evolution of rotating …

We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations aimed at exploring the evolution towards
energy equipartition of first-(1G) and second-generation (2G) stars in multiple-population …

In the homoeoidal expansion, a given ellipsoidally stratified density distribution and its
associated potential are expanded in the (small) density flattening parameter η, and usually …
