ROLLIN': Rotating globular cluster simulations II. The complex morphology of globular clusters driven by multi-scale dynamics

Globular clusters (GCs) are inherently non-spherical systems that in many cases show internal rotation.

Globular clusters (GCs) are inherently non-spherical systems that in many cases show internal rotation. Typically, rotation is considered the main driver of GC morphology; however, the relationship between ellipticity and rotational support is not a simple one-to-one mapping,…
