The mass-to-light ratio of rich star clusters
Christian M. Boily, Jean-Julien Fleck, Ariane Lançon +1
We point out a strong time-evolution of the mass-to-light conversion factor eta commonly used to estimate masses of unresolved star clusters from observed cluster spectro-photometr…
Star cluster survival and compressive tides in Antennae-like mergers
F. Renaud, C. M. Boily, J. -J. Fleck +2
Gravitational tides are widely understood to strip and destroy galactic substructures. In the course of a galaxy merger, however, transient totally compressive tides may develop an…
On the Mass of Dense Star Clusters in Starburst Galaxies from Spectro-Photometry
J. -J. Fleck, C. M. Boily, A. Lançon +1
The mass of unresolved young star clusters derived from spectro-photometric data may well be off by a factor of 2 or more once the migration of massive stars driven by mass segrega…
Light-weight Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
J. R. Kuhn, D. Kocevski, J. -J. Fleck
A simple and natural explanation for the dynamics and morphology of the Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal galaxies, Draco (Dra) and Ursa Minor (UMi), is that they are weakly unbound ste…
Parametric Dwarf Spheroidal Tidal Interaction
Jean-Julien Fleck, Jeff R. Kuhn
The time dependent tidal interaction of the Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal (dS) Galaxies with the Milky Way (MW) can fundamentally affect their dynamical properties. The model develo…
