Distribution of equal mass particles in different time steps (powers of 2). Aarseth’s criterion is used for the time step with η = 0.01. A small number of particles lies in time step 2-14. This is the smallest allowed time step for the N-body code. Stars with this time step are candidates for close encounters or virtual particles representing the centers of mass of binary or multiple sub-systems
