TL;DR
This paper explores how mass segregation and selective mass loss affect star cluster photometry and compares results from two N-body simulation codes, NBODY4 and STARLAB/KIRA.
Contribution
It provides insights into the effects of internal cluster dynamics on observable properties and evaluates the consistency between two popular simulation tools.
Findings
Mass segregation influences integrated photometry significantly.
Results from NBODY4 and STARLAB/KIRA show good agreement.
Selective mass loss impacts cluster evolution and observable features.
Abstract
Two aspects of our recent N-body studies of star clusters are presented: (1) What impact does mass segregation and selective mass loss have on integrated photometry? (2) How well compare results from N-body simulations using NBODY4 and STARLAB/KIRA?
