Using Binaries in Globular Clusters to Catch Sight of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Francisco I. Aros, Anna C. Sippel, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti +3
The dynamical evolution of globular clusters (GCs) is tied to their binary population, as binaries segregate to the cluster centre, leading to an increased binary fraction in the c…
Dynamical modelling of globular clusters: challenges for the robust determination of IMBH candidates
Francisco I. Aros, Anna C. Sippel, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti +3
The presence or absence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at the centre of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) is still an open question. This is either due to observational r…
Star formation at the Galactic Centre: coevolution of multiple young stellar discs
Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Hagai B. Perets, Alessia Gualandris +2
Studies of the Galactic Centre suggest that in-situ star formation may have given rise to the observed stellar population near the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). Direct ev…
Probing the formation history of the nuclear star cluster at the Galactic Centre with millisecond pulsars
F. Abbate, A. Mastrobuono-Battisti, M. Colpi +3
The origin of the Nuclear Star Cluster in the centre of our Galaxy is still unknown. One possibility is that it formed after the disruption of stellar clusters that spiralled into…
The relation between the mass-to-light ratio and the relaxation state of globular clusters
Paolo Bianchini, Alison Sills, Glenn van de Ven +1
The internal dynamics of globular clusters (GCs) is strongly affected by two-body interactions that bring the systems to a state of partial energy equipartition. Using a set of Mon…
A dynamical gravitational wave source in a dense cluster
Jarrod R. Hurley, Anna C. Sippel, Christopher A. Tout +1
Making use of a new N-body model to describe the evolution of a moderate-size globular cluster we investigate the characteristics of the population of black holes within such a clu…
