Abstract

The dynamical evolution of globular clusters with embedded black holes is investigated. The interaction between the black hole and stellar component in rotating clusters is followed by using NBody and 2DC1 Fokker-Planck numerical techniques. The models can reproduce the Bahcall-Wolf solution f ∝ E 1/4 (n ∝ r-7/4) inside the zone of influence of the black hole in a relaxation time scale. We explore the system dissolution due to mass-loss in the presence of an external galactic tidal field.
