On the black hole content and initial mass function of 47 Tuc
Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Mark Gieles, Jay Strader +3
The globular cluster (GC) 47 Tuc has recently been proposed to host an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) or a population of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). To shed light on its d…
Mass models of NGC 6624 without an intermediate-mass black hole
Mark Gieles, Eduardo Balbinot, Rashid Yaaqib +4
An intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) was recently reported to reside in the centre of the Galactic globular cluster (GC) NGC 6624, based on timing observations of a millisecond p…
Testing lowered isothermal models with direct N-body simulations of globular clusters - II: Multimass models
Miklos Peuten, Alice Zocchi, Mark Gieles +1
Lowered isothermal models, such as the multimass Michie-King models, have been successful in describing observational data of globular clusters. In this study we assess whether suc…
A stellar-mass black hole population in the globular cluster NGC 6101?
Miklos Peuten, Alice Zocchi, Mark Gieles +2
Dalessandro et al. observed a similar distribution for blue straggler stars and main-sequence turn-off stars in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6101, and interpreted this feature…
Testing lowered isothermal models with direct N-body simulations of globular clusters
Alice Zocchi, Mark Gieles, Vincent Hénault-Brunet +1
Several self-consistent models have been proposed, aiming at describing the phase space distribution of stars in globular clusters. This study explores the ability of the recently…
The Puzzling Negative Orbit-Period Derivative of the Low-Mass X-Ray Binary 4U 1820-30 in NGC 6624
Miklos Peuten, Michael Brockamp, Andreas H. W. Kuepper +1
4U 1820-30 is a low-mass X-ray binary near the center of the globular cluster NGC 6624 consisting of, at least, one neutron star and one helium white dwarf. Analyzing 16 years of d…
