Intracluster Stellar Population
I shall review the latest results for the presence of diffuse light in nearby clusters, and the evidence of ongoing star formation in an intracluster Virgo field. I shall discuss how intracluster planetary nebulae can be used as excellent tracers of the diffuse stellar population in nearby clusters. Their number density distribution, density profile and radial velocity distribution provide obse...
متن کاملStellar collisions in young star clusters
We consider the effect of mass segregation on the observable integrated properties of star clusters. The measurable properties depend on a combination of the dynamical age of the cluster and the physical age of the stars in the cluster. To investigate all possible combinations of these two quantities, we propose an analytical model for the mass function of segregated star clusters that agrees w...
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 کاملImplications of Abundance Gradients in Intracluster Gas
Analysis of spatially resolved ASCA spectra of the intracluster gas in Abell 496 confirms that metal abundances increase toward the center. We also find spatial gradients in several abundance ratios, indicating that the fraction of iron from SN Ia increases toward the cluster center and that the dominant metal enrichment mechanism near the center must be different than in the outer parts.
متن کاملStellar Collisions in Young Clusters: Formation of (Very) Massive Stars?
In young star clusters, the density can be high enough and the velocity dispersion low enough for stars to collide and merge with a significant probability. This has been suggested as a possible way to build up the highmass portion of the stellar mass function and as a mechanism leading to the formation of one or two very massive stars (M∗ > 150M⊙) through a collisional runaway. I quickly revie...
