Cluster Evolution

We investigate the evolution of globular clusters in the Galactic tidal field prior to core collapse. These multimass models incorporate mass loss by stellar evolution.

Dynamical Evolution

We have computed simplified globular cluster evolutionary tracks which take into account the effects of internal relaxation, of the cluster rotation, of the galactic tidal field, and, in a cruder way, of stellar evolution and of gravitational shocking. The objectives are first to quantify the influence of rotation in the dynamical evolution of globular clusters; and second, to investigate the evolution of globular cluster angular momentum and flattening (Lagoute and Longaretti 1995a, Longaretti and Lagoute 1995b,c).

The uncertainties in the modelling of some important inputs of stellar evolution must be taken into account for a correct interpretation, both of the HR diagrams of individual stars, and of the integrated colors, of stellar clusters. After a short discussion of Globular Cluster ages, we focus on the problem of convection and discuss the parametrization of convection efficiency and overshooting.Convective efficiency affects the reliability of the giants colors, especially for high metallicity: age - metallicity relations found from integrated colors of clusters must be regarded with caution.Non-instantaneous mixing, both in the formal convective region and in the overshooting region must be taken into account: this is necessary to compute nucleosynthesis in ‘hot bottom burning’ envelopes, but it may also affect the color distribution in clump (core helium burning) stars, as shown here for the case of the LMC cluster NGC 1866.
