Description

The evolution of globular clusters is an important topic in astronomy.
Observational results suggested that the external tidal field will
affect the evolution of globular clusters significantly. Therefore, we
use the method of N-body simulations to investigate how various physical
parameters of a globular cluster—such as total mass, half-mass radius,
concentration parameter, and truncation parameter—
evolve over time under different external tidal fields.
