Star Cluster Simulations
The simulation of rich star clusters presents challenging problems of several kinds, including the design of suitable hardware and software, and numerous theoretical problems in stellar dynamics and stellar physics. Great progress has been made possible in recent years through the widespread use of GRAPE hardware. Simulations are, however, still too small to be applied to real star clusters wit...
متن کاملStar cluster ecology II. Binary evolution with single-star encounters
Three-body effects greatly complicate stellar evolution. We model the effects of encounters of binaries with single stars, based on parameters chosen from conditions prevalent in the cores of globular clusters. For our three-body encounters, we start with a population of primordial binaries, and choose incoming stars from the evolving single star populations of paper I. In addition, we study th...
متن کاملStar Cluster Simulations Including Stellar Evolution
The past few years have seen dramatic improvements in the scope and realism of star cluster simulations. Accurate treatments of stellar evolution, coupled with robust descriptions of all phases of binary evolution, have been incorporated self-consistently into several dynamical codes, allowing for the first time detailed study of the interplay between stellar dynamics and stellar physics. The c...
متن کاملThe Star Cluster population of NGC 5253 ⋆
We present a detailed analysis of the star cluster population in the starburst galaxy NGC 5253. Our work is based on HST optical and VLT Ks images. We detect more than 300 clusters, and for all of them we derive the photometry in the V, I and Ks bands and built a color-color V-I/V-Ks diagram. After correction for star contamination, we matched 115 sources in all the three bands V, I and Ks. Com...
متن کاملConstraining Population Synthesis Models via the Binary Neutron Star Population
The observed sample of double neutron-star (NS-NS) binaries presents a challenge to populationsynthesis models of compact object formation: the parameters entering into these models must be carefully chosen so as to match (i) the observed star formation rate and (ii) the formation rate of NS-NS binaries, which can be estimated from the observed sample and the selection effects related to the di...
