We review what has been learned recently using N-body simulations about the evolution of globular clusters. While simulations of star clusters have become more realistic, and now include the evolution of single and binary stars, the prospect of reaching large enough N is still a distant one. Nevertheless more restricted kinds of simulations have recently brought valuable progress for certain problems of current observational interest, including the origin and structure of tidal tails of globular clusters. In addition, such simulations have forced us to rethink some basic aspects of stellar dynamics, including, in particular, the process of escape. Finally we turn to faster, approximate methods for studying star cluster dynamics, where the role of N-body simulations is one of calibration.

  2. Stellar Dynamics in Open Clusters Increases the Binary Fraction and Mass Ratios: Evidence from Photometric Binaries in 35 Open Clusters

    astro-ph.SR 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Photometric binaries in 35 open clusters show binary fraction and mass-ratio rising with cluster dynamical age, evidence that dynamical encounters reshape binary populations.

  3. Localizing Dynamically-Formed Black Hole Binaries in Milky Way Globular Clusters with LISA

    astro-ph.HE 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LISA should detect about 2 (SNR>5) black hole binaries from Milky Way globular clusters in 10 years, mostly eccentric, with the strongest sources localizable to a specific cluster at roughly 1 deg^2.
