A systematic analysis of star cluster disruption by tidal shocks -- I. Controlled N-body simulations and a new theoretical model

Jeremy J. Webb, Marta Reina-Campos, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen

Understanding the evolution of stellar clusters in an evolving tidal field is critical for studying the disruption of stellar clusters in a cosmological context. We systematically…

Fossil stellar streams and their globular cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Meghan E. Hughes, Joel Pfeffer, Marie Martig +4

Stellar haloes encode a fossil record of a galaxy's accretion history, generally in the form of structures of low surface brightness, such as stellar streams. While their low surfa…

The origin of the 'blue tilt' of globular cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Christopher Usher, Joel Pfeffer, Nate Bastian +3

The metal-poor sub-population of globular cluster (GC) systems exhibits a correlation between the GC average colour and luminosity, especially in those systems associated with mass…

The formation and assembly history of the Milky Way revealed by its globular cluster population

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Joel L. Pfeffer, Marta Reina-Campos +2

We use the age-metallicity distribution of 96 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to infer the formation and assembly history of the Milky Way (MW), culminating in the reconstruction…

The young star cluster population of M51 with LEGUS - II. Testing environmental dependencies

M. Messa, A. Adamo, D. Calzetti +16

It has recently been established that the properties of young star clusters (YSCs) can vary as a function of the galactic environment in which they are found. We use the cluster ca…
