Reduces elliptic triple outcome model to one free parameter, matches N-body simulations except at low angular momentum, and finds observably eccentric merger fractions of 2.6-4.4% in 10^5-10^7 solar mass clusters.
Bayesian analysis of 163 open clusters finds a universal initial IMF slope of -2.29 with 0.17 scatter and minimal primordial mass segregation, followed by rapid internal mass segregation and later tidal MF flattening.
