- Equilibrium Star Cluster Formation (2006, background): “The dissipation time of a substructure depends on whether it is bound (Scally & Clarke 2002) and the nature of its velocity dispersion (Goodwin & Whitworth 2004).”
- DYNAMICAL MASS SEGREGATION ON A VERY SHORT TIMESCALE (2009, background): “The stars initially have a fractal distribution within a sphere of radius 1 pc, with initial velocities such that nearby stars have similar velocities, as described in detail by Goodwin & Whitworth (2004).”
- On the massive stellar population of the super star cluster Westerlund 1 (2005, background): “Whilst the core of Wd 1 should be dynamically relaxed, the outer regions are probably dynamically young and substructure in the initial cluster may not have been erased (e.g., Goodwin & Whitworth 2004) as is thought to be the case in the NGC 2070 cluster (Meylan 1993).”
- Using the minimum spanning tree to trace mass segregation (2009, background): “(see, Goodwin & Whitworth 2004); we will discuss simulations triangles show the positions of the 5 most massive stars and the squares the positions of the 6th to 12th most massive stars (the reason for these choices will be explained below).”
- Merging black holes in young star clusters (2019, methodology): “We generate the initial conditions with McLuster (Küpper et al. 2011), which allows to produce models with different degrees of fractal substructures (Goodwin & Whitworth 2004).”
- The formation of very wide binaries during the star cluster dissolution phase (2010, background): “Each star is assigned a velocity, as described in Goodwin & Whitworth (2004), such that nearby stars have similar velocities.”
