Repopulating the pair-instability mass gap without sustained growth to massive IMBHs: the case of 47\,Tuc

GravSphere2: A higher-order Jeans method for mass-modeling spherical stellar systems
GravSphere2 extends Jeans modeling to fourth order with LOS and PM data plus flexible anisotropy forms to recover mass density, anisotropy, and density slope in spherical stellar systems while breaking the mass-anisotropy degeneracy.
