The Early Evolution of Star Clusters in Compressive and Extensive Tidal
  Fields
  We present N-body simulations of star clusters that initially evolve within a
strong compressive tidal field and then transition into extensive tidal fields
of varying strengths. While subject to compressive tides, clusters can undergo
significant heating due to two-body interactions and mass loss due to stellar
evolution. When the cluster transitions into an extensive tidal field it is
super-virialized, which leads to a rapid expansion and significant mass loss
before the cluster reaches virial equilibrium. After the transition, clusters
are significantly less massive, more extended and therefore more tidally
filling than clusters which have spent their entire lifetime in a similar
extensive tidal field.
