Characterization of the velocity anisotropy of accreted globular clusters

Paolo Bianchini, Alison Sills, Meghan Miholics

Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are believed to have formed in-situ in the Galaxy as well as in dwarf galaxies later accreted onto the Milky Way. However, to date, there is no una…

A tight relation between the age distributions of stellar clusters and the properties of the interstellar medium in the host galaxy

Meghan Miholics, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alison Sills

The age distributions of stellar cluster populations have long been proposed to probe the recent formation history of the host galaxy. However, progress is hampered by the limited…

The Dynamical Evolution of Accreted Star Clusters in the Milky Way

Meghan Miholics, Jeremy J. Webb, Alison Sills

We perform -body simulations of star clusters in time-dependant galactic potentials. Since the Milky Way was built-up through mergers with dwarf galaxies, its globular cluster p…

The Dynamics of Multiple Populations in the Globular Cluster NGC 6362

Meghan Miholics, Jeremy J. Webb, Alison Sills

We investigate how the Milky Way tidal field can affect the spatial mixing of multiple stellar populations in the globular cluster NGC 6362. We use -body simulations of multiple…

The Size of Star Clusters Accreted by the Milky Way

Meghan Miholics, Jeremy J. Webb, Alison Sills

We perform N-body simulations of a cluster that forms in a dwarf galaxy and is then accreted by the Milky Way to investigate how a cluster's structure is affected by a galaxy merge…
