The effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of stellar clusters
M. Gieles, E. Athanassoula, S. F. Portegies Zwart
We study the effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of star clusters on planar and circular orbits around the centres of galaxies. Individual passages with different relati…
Simultaneous radio/X-ray observations of Cir X-1
V. Tudose, P. Soleri, R. P. Fender +4
We present a partial analysis of a multi-wavelength study of the X-ray binary Cir X-1, a system harboring the most relativistic outflow in our galaxy so far. The data were taken (a…
Jet-powered optical nebulae from X-ray binaries
David M. Russell, Rob P. Fender, Elena Gallo +2
Accreting black holes and neutron stars release an unknown fraction of the infalling particles and energy in the form of collimated jets. The jets themselves are radiatively ineffi…
Reconstructing the Initial Relaxation Time of Young Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Hui-Chen Chen
We reconstruct the initial two-body relaxation time at the half mass radius for a sample of young $\aplt 300$ Myr star clusters in the large Magellanic cloud. We achieve this by si…
K-band spectroscopy of deeply embedded, young OB stars
A. Bik, L. Kaper, M. M. Hanson +1
We have obtained high resolution (R = 10,000) K-band spectra of candidate young massive stars deeply embedded in high-mass star-forming regions. These objects were selected from a…
Life and Death of Young Dense Star Clusters near the Galactic Center
Simon Portegies Zwart, Stephen McMillan, Holger Baumgardt
We discuss the structural change and degree of mass segregation of young dense star clusters within about 100pc of the Galactic center. In our calculations, which are performed wit…
