Description:

The dynamical evolution of star clusters is discussed. We investigate especially the possible disruption of globular clusters by massive black holes, which have been proposed as the major constituents of dark galactic coronae. As an example, we discuss here the globular clusters in the elliptical galaxy M87. The proposed massive black holes could be responsible for the observationally indicated depletion of the globular cluster system in the inner parts of M87 with respect to the stellar light distribution of this galaxy.
