Galaxy Deconstruction: Clues from Globular Clusters
The present-day globular cluster populations of galaxies reflect the cumulative effects of billions of years of galaxy evolution via such processes as mergers, tidal stripping, accretion, and in some cases the partial or even complete destruction of other galaxies. If large galaxies have grown by consuming their smaller neighbors, or by accreting material stripped from other galaxies, then thei...
متن کاملLyrae Variables in Globular Clusters and Nearby
I point out that the Oosterhoff dichotomy for globular cluster and field RR Lyrae (RRL) stars may place the strongest constraints so far on the number of dwarf spheroidal-like protogalactic fragments that may have contributed to the formation of the Galactic halo. The first calibration of the RRL period-luminosity relation in I, J , H, K taking evolutionary effects into account is provided. Pro...
متن کاملLyrae variables in Galactic globular clusters
RR Lyrae variables in Galactic globular clusters V. The case of M3 pulsators. Abstract. We use our synthetic Horizontal Branch (HB) procedure to approach the debated problem concerning the adequacy of canonical HB stellar models to account for the observed peaked distribution of RR Lyrae fundamentalised periods in the globular cluster M3. We find that by assuming a suitable bimodal mass distrib...
متن کاملBinary formation within globular clusters : X-ray clues
We have investigated the effect of the number of primordial binaries on the relationship between the total number of detected binaries within globular cluster and its collision rate. We have used simulated populations of binary stars in globular clusters : primordial binaries and binaries formed through gravitational interactions. We show that the initial number of primordial binaries influence...
