Evolution of a cluster with N = 1000 stars, total mass Mstars = 104 M, Rv = 0.14 pc, and Rstar = 100 R. Uppermost panel: number of mergers as a function of time, the fraction of binary, hyperbolic, and chain mergers in the second panel along with the fraction of stars that escape from the cluster. Third panel: 10, 50 and 90% Lagrangian radii, and bottom panel: mass growth of the most massive object that formed through mergers in the cluster.
