EVOLUTION OF THE BINARY FRACTION IN DENSE STELLAR SYSTEMS

EVOLUTION OF THE BINARY FRACTION IN DENSE STELLAR SYSTEMS

Using our recently improved Monte Carlo evolution code, we study the evolution of the binary fraction in globular clusters. In agreement with previous N-body simulations, we find generally that the hard binary fraction in the core tends to increase with time over a range of initial cluster central densities for …
