| Abstract: | The evolution of initially rotating collisional stellar systems considered as models of flattened globular clusters is followed by means of solving the orbit-average Fokker-Planck equation in two-dimensional (E,Jz)-space. Due to increasingly expensive simulations when utilizing higher numbers of mass bins in the multi-mass case a parallelized version of the code is applied to the problem. Using rotating King-models as starting configurations a stronger mass loss as compared to the non-rotating case may be noticed. The shortest collapse times measured from the models approach the value of 2-3 half-mass relaxation times for rotating models of a large range of King concentration parameters. |
