Formation rates of star clusters in the hierarchical merging scenario
R. Smith, R. Slater, M. Fellhauer +2
Stars form with a complex and highly structured distribution. For a smooth star cluster to form from these initial conditions, the star cluster must erase this substructure. We stu…
Ram pressure drag - the effects of ram pressure on dark matter and stellar disk dynamics
R. Smith, M. Fellhauer, P. Assmann
We investigate the effects of ram pressure stripping on gas-rich disk galaxies in the cluster environment. Ram pressure stripping principally effects the atomic gas in disk galaxie…
A parametric study on the formation of extended star clusters and ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
R. C. Bruens, P. Kroupa, M. Fellhauer +2
In the last decade, extended stellar clusters with masses in the range from a few 10^4 to 10^8 M_sun have been found in various types of galaxies in different environments. Objects…
A Possible Formation Scenario for Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies - II: A Parameter Study
P. Assmann, M. Fellhauer, M. I. Wilkinson +2
Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are considered the basic building blocks of the galaxy formation process in the LCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) hierarchical cosmological model. The…
Phase mixing due to the Galactic potential: steps in the position and velocity distributions of popped star clusters
G. N. Candlish, R. Smith, M. Fellhauer +3
As star clusters are expected to form with low star formation efficiencies, the gas in the cluster is expelled quickly and early in their development: the star cluster "pops." This…
A possible formation scenario for dwarf spheroidal galaxies - III. Adding star formation histories to the fiducial model
A. G. Alarcon Jara, M. Fellhauer, D. R. Matus Carillo +3
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are regarded as the basic building blocks in the formation of larger galaxies and are believed to be the most dark matter dominated systems known in the U…
A Complete 16 micron-Selected Galaxy Sample at : Mid-infrared Spectral Energy Distributions
J. -S. Huang, Y. -S. Dai, S. P. Willner +21
We describe a complete, flux-density-limited sample of galaxies at redshift selected at 16 micron. At the selection wavelength near 8 micron rest, the observed emis…
Star clusters as building blocks for dSph galaxies formation
P. Assmann, M. Fellhauer, M. I. Wilkinson
We study numerically the formation of dSph galaxies. Intense star bursts, e.g. in gas-rich environments, typically produce a few to a few hundred young star clusters, within a regi…
Popping star clusters as building blocks of the Milky Way Thick Disc
P. Assmann, M. Fellhauer, P. Kroupa +2
It is widely believed that star clusters form with low star formation efficiencies. With the onset of stellar winds by massive stars or finally when the first super nova blows off,…
