Star 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 کاملStellar, brown dwarf, and multiple star properties from hydrodynamical simulations of star cluster formation
We report the statistical properties of stars, brown dwarfs and multiple systems obtained from the largest hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to date that resolves masses down to the opacity limit for fragmentation (a few Jupiter masses). The simulation is essentially identical to that of Bate, Bonnell & Bromm except that the initial molecular cloud is larger and more massive. ...
متن کاملStar 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 کامل0 Monte - Carlo Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution - II . Mass Spectra , Stellar Evolution and Lifetimes
We study the dynamical evolution of globular clusters using our new 2-D MonteCarlo code, and we calculate the lifetimes of clusters in the Galactic environment. We include the effects of a mass spectrum, mass loss in the Galactic tidal field, and stellar evolution. We consider initial King models containing N = 10−3×10 stars, with the dimensionless central potential W0 = 1, 3, and 7, and with p...
متن کاملA new Monte Carlo code for star cluster simulations: II. Central black hole and stellar collisions
We have recently written a new code to simulate the long term evolution of spherical clusters of stars. It is based on the pioneering Monte Carlo scheme proposed by Hénon in the 70’s. Unlike other implementations of this numerical method which were successfully used to investigate the dynamics of globular clusters, our code has been devised in the specific goal to treat dense galactic nuclei. I...
