Stochastic Self-enrichment, Pre-enrichment, and the Formation of Globular Clusters

We develop a model for stochastic pre-enrichment and self-enrichment in globular clusters (GCs) during their formation process. GCs beginning their formation have an initial metallicity determined by the pre-enrichment of their surrounding protocloud, but can also undergo internal self-enrichment during formation. Stochastic variations in metallicity arise because of the finite numbers of super...

Self - enrichment in globular clusters . I . An analytic approach

By means of analytical calculations, we explore the self-enrichment scenario for Globular Cluster formation. According to this scenario, an initial burst of star formation occurs inside the core radius of the initial gaseous distribution. The outward-propagating shock wave sweeps up a shell in which gravitational instabilities may arise, leading to the formation of a second, metal-enriched, pop...

Halo enrichment by disrupted globular clusters

We study the evolution of the galactic globular cluster system to determine its initial mass-function and the fraction of halo stars that could have come from disrupted globular clusters. We study the cluster evolution under the influence of two destruction mechanisms: Twobody relaxation and dynamical friction. New results of N -body simulations are used for the lifetimes of clusters dissolving...

Heavy elements and chemical enrichment in globular clusters

High resolution (R >∼ 40 000) and high S/N spectra have been acquired with UVES on the VLT-Kueyen (Paranal Observatory, ESO Chile) for several main sequence turnoff stars (V ∼ 17 mag) and subgiants at the base of the Red Giant Branch (V ∼ 16 mag) in three globular clusters (NGC 6397, NGC 6752 and 47 Tuc/NGC 104) at different metallicities (respectively [Fe/H] ≃ −2.0;−1.5;−0.7). Spectra for a sa...

The Self - Enrichment of Galactic Halo Globular Clusters The mass - metallicity relation

We discuss the existence of a mass-metallicity relation among galactic halo globular clusters. The lack of any luminosity-metallicity correlation in globular cluster systems has been used as an argument against self-enrichment models of cluster formation. We show that such a relation is statistically present among the galactic Old Halo globulars. This observational correlation implies that the ...
