Description

We present the results of a study aimed at exploring, by means of N-body simulations, the evolution of rotating multi-mass star clusters during the violent relaxation phase, in the presence of a weak external tidal field. We study the implications of the initial rotation and the presence of a mass spectrum for the violent relaxation dynamics and the final properties of the equilibria emerging at the end of this stage.
