The meeting focused on the enormous progress of both  the observation and the theoretical modeling of star clusters. New  results from the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) include the  mass function down to the hydrogen burning limits, white dwarf  sequence, and central density profiles of `post-collapse' clusters by  star counts. On the theoretical side, this symposium saw the first  direct evidence of gravothermal oscillation through \u003cem\u003eN\u003c\/em\u003e-body  simulation, which was made possible by GRAPE-4, the dedicated  special-purpose computer for \u003cem\u003eN\u003c\/em\u003e-body simulation. Numerical  techniques to combine stellar evolution and dynamical evolution of the  cluster were presented. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of primary interest to astrophysicists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792340690\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 406\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311752728716,"sku":"9780792340690","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792340690.jpg?v=1771512330","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792340690","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
