Formation of globular clusters induced by external ultraviolet radiation
We present a novel scenario for globular cluster (GC) formation, where the ultraviolet (UV) background radiation effectively works so as to produce compact star clusters. Recent observations on the age distributions of GCs indicate that many GCs formed even after the cosmic reionization epoch. This implies that a significant fraction of GCs formed in UV background radiation fields. Also, the st...
متن کاملFormation of intracluster globular clusters
We first present the results of numerical simulations on formation processes and physical properties of old globular clusters (GCs) located within clusters of galaxies (“intracluster GCs”) and in between clusters of galaxies (“intercluster GCs”). Our high-resolution cosmological simulations with models of GC formation at high redshifts (z > 6) show that about 30 % of all GCs in a rich cluster c...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters and Galaxy Formation
We first discuss recent progress in using the Milky Way globular cluster (GC) system as a ‘test-bed’ for properties derived from integrated spectra and stellar population models. Standard techniques may give rise to spuriously high alpha-element ratios at low metallicities. We then discuss evidence for early epoch (z ≥ 2) formation for most GCs in galaxies today. Recent accretions of GCs (and t...
متن کاملFormation of Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters
In this contribution we discuss how neutron stars are produced and retained in globular clusters, outlining the most important dynamical channels and evolutionary events that affect the population of mass-transferring binaries with neutron stars and result in the formation of recycled pulsars. We confirm the importance of electron-capture supernovae in globular clusters as the major supplier of...
متن کاملFormation of globular clusters in galaxy mergers
Our numerical simulations first demonstrate that the pressure of ISM in a major merger becomes so high (> 105 kB K cm−3) that GMCs in the merger can collapse to form globular clusters (GCs) within a few Myr. The star formation efficiency within a GMC in galaxy mergers can rise up from a few percent to ∼ 80 percent, depending on the shapes and the temperature of the GMC. This implosive GC format...
