Stellar Collisions and Black Hole Formation in Dense Star Clusters
Close encounters and physical collisions between stars in young dense clusters may lead to the formation of very massive stars and black holes via runaway merging. We examine critically some details of this process, using N-body simulations and simple analytical estimates to place limits on the cluster parameters for which it expected to occur. For small clusters, the mass of the runaway is eff...
متن کاملStellar Populations , Butcher - Oemler Effect , Star Formation in Clusters Bianca
In this brief overview of the stellar populations of galaxies in clusters I highlight some of the most recent results, including the downsizing of the k+a population and the star formation–local density relation. I conclude discussing some open questions regarding the interpretation of the observational results, and speculating on the current meaning of the words “primordial” and “environmental”.
متن کاملStellar-Dynamics of Young Star Clusters
The stellar-dynamical evolution of bound star clusters during the first few Myr is dominated by binary-binary and binary-star interactions, the rapid sinking of the most massive stars to the centre of the clusters and mass loss from evolving stars. The consequences of these processes for the binary and stellar population in clusters, and for the star clusters as a whole, are studied by followin...
متن کاملDynamical Masses of Young Star Clusters: Constraints on the Stellar IMF and Star-Formation Efficiency
Many recent works have attempted to constrain the stellar initial mass function (IMF) inside massive clusters by comparing their dynamical mass estimates (found through measuring the velocity dispersion and effective radius) to the measured light. These studies have come to different conclusions, with some claiming standard Kroupa-type [11] IMFs (e.g. [14], [13]) while others have claimed extre...
متن کاملThe Formation of Stellar Clusters
We review recent work that investigates the formation of stellar clusters, ranging in scale from globular clusters through open clusters to the small scale aggregates of stars observed in T associations. In all cases, recent advances in understanding have been achieved through the use of state of the art stellar dynamical and gas dynamical calculations, combined with the possibility of intercom...
