The physics governing the upper truncation mass of the globular cluster mass function
Meghan E. Hughes, Joel L. Pfeffer, Nate Bastian +5
The mass function of globular cluster (GC) populations is a fundamental observable that encodes the physical conditions under which these massive stellar clusters formed and evolve…
Globular clusters as tracers of the dark matter halo: insights from the E-MOSAICS simulations
Marta Reina-Campos, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Alis J. Deason +5
Globular clusters (GCs) are bright objects that span a wide range of galactocentric distances, and are thus probes of the structure of dark matter (DM) haloes. In this work, we exp…
What to expect when using globular clusters as tracers of the total mass distribution in Milky Way-mass galaxies
Meghan E. Hughes, Prashin Jethwa, Michael Hilker +8
Dynamical models allow us to connect the motion of a set of tracers to the underlying gravitational potential, and thus to the total (luminous and dark) matter distribution. They a…
