Dark Matter in Globular Clusters
We rst review reasons why dark matter is an interesting issue in connection with star clusters. Next we consider to what extent the presence of dark matter is consistent with their dynamics and structure. We review various model-dependent and model-independent methods which have been applied to two well studied clusters, NGC 6397 and 47 Tuc. We suggest that about half of the mass in each object...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters with Dark Matter Halos. I. Initial Relaxation
In a series of two papers, we test the primordial scenario of globular cluster formation using results of highresolutions N-body simulations. In this first paper we study the initial relaxation of a stellar core inside a live dark matter minihalo in the early universe. Our dark-matter dominated globular clusters show features which are usually attributed to the action of the tidal field of the ...
متن کاملBinaries in Globular Clusters
Binary stars in a globular cluster (hereafter, GC) may be primordial (i.e. formed along with the cluster), or the result of cluster dynamics. “Dynamical” binaries can result from conservative threebody encounters (e.g. Spitzer, 1987) if a third star can carry away enough kinetic energy to leave two others bound, or from dissipative two-body encounters, if two stars happen to pass within a few s...
متن کاملMassive Globular Clusters In
We present velocity dispersion measurements of 14 globular clusters in NGC 5128 (Centarus A) obtained with the MIKE echelle spectrograph on the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope. These clusters are among the most luminous globular clusters in NGC 5128 and have velocity dispersions comparable to the most massive clusters known in the Local Group, ranging from 10 – 30 km s−1. We describe in detail our...
متن کاملPulsars in Globular Clusters
More than 100 radio pulsars have been detected in 24 globular clusters. The largest observed samples are in Terzan 5 and 47 Tucanae, which together contain 45 pulsars. Accurate timing solutions, including positions in the cluster, are known for many of these pulsars. Here we provide an observational overview of some properties of pulsars in globular clusters, as well as properties of the globul...
