The Figures were made using IDL and GIMP. All movies were made out of individual pictures with mencoder. They can be watched, for example, with VLC media player.
 Figure: Effective potential isolines and comparison with a simulation. From: A. Ernst, A. Just, P. Berczik, M. Petrov, Calibration of radii and masses of open clusters with a simulation, 2010, A&A, 524, A62 |
 Figure: Dissolving cluster in the Galactic centre. From: A. Ernst, A. Just, R. Spurzem, On the dissolution of star clusters in the Galactic centre. I. Circular orbits, 2009, MNRAS 399, 141 |
 Movie: A star cluster spiralling into the Galactic Center on a circular orbit, N = 5000, M_cl = 10^6 M_sol, V0 = V_cir, King W0 = 9 |
 Movie: A star cluster spiralling into the Galactic Center on a rosette orbit, N = 5000, M_cl = 10^6 M_sol, V0 = 0.5 V_cir, King W0 = 9 |
 Movie: A star cluster spiralling into the Galactic Center on an eccentric rosette orbit, N = 5000, M_cl = 10^6 M_sol, V0 = 0.25 V_cir, King W0 = 9 |
