Table 1. Overview of the 17 wBH N-body simulations of Pal 5.

The different columns present: (1) initial number of stars; (2) initial half-mass density; (3) initial mass; (4) initial half-mass radius; (5) age when the cluster had the observed number of stars (Ncluster = 1550); (6) observable number of stars at 11.5 Gyr; (7) half-light radii at 11.5 Gyr; (8) bound mass at 11.5 Gyr; (9) half-mass radius of the bound stars at 11.5 Gyr; (10) BH mass fraction at an age of 11.5 Gyr; (11) fractional difference with Ncluster; (12) fractional difference with observed Reff = l8.7±0.4 pc; (13) overall fractional difference δ=δN2+δR2; (14) Model ID, sorted in level of agreement with the data with wBH-1 being the closest match.
