The emphasis in these proceedings of lAD Symposium No. 113,
Dynafrri-, ' s of Star Clusters. and.. .Le. mab rPIHlon for
orZ'lnizinp: thE" symposium in the spring of 1984, was the rapid
increase during the preceeding year in our understanding of core
collapse. The last I.A.D. Symposium to discuss the dynamics of star
clusters at length was No.69, Dynamics of Stellar Systems held in
Besan on in 1974. For a few years afterwards, globular clusters
receiveu much attention due to the discovery of X-ray bursters and
the mounting evidence that X-ray sources in globular clusters were
formed in completely different ways than those within our galaxy.
Globular clusters, which until this time had a reputation for
sedate old age, turned out to lead violent private lives at high
energies. However, in the early 80's globular clusters seemed to
lose some of the glamor of the 70's. The grand speculations of
heavy black holes lurking in their centers had to make way for a
variety of observational evidence which indicated that the X-ray
sources are low-mass close binaries instead. But, though dynamical
fashion turned to heavy galac tic halos and so on, some of the
unsolved theoretical problems regard ing the evolution of star
clusters kept their fascination for a number of relatively isolated
workers. After several years of inconspicuous labor, a number of
preprints suddenly appeared in the spring of 1983 that studied the
evolution of globular clusters after core collapse."
