Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and Other Local Systems

A. D. Mackey, G. F. Gilmore

Observations of rich LMC and SMC clusters reveal an increasing spread in core radius with age. This trend likely represents real physical evolution in these systems. Old Magellanic…

Future prospects: Merging data with models

Gerard Gilmore

Globular clusters are stellar dynamical systems which evolve on stellar evolutionary and both internal and external dynamical timescales. Quantitative comparison of cluster propert…

Can Supermassive Black Holes alter Cold Dark Matter cusps through accretion?

J. I. Read, G. Gilmore

We present some simple models to determine whether or not the accretion of cold dark matter by supermassive black holes is astrophysically important. Contrary to some claims in the…

Infrared stellar populations in the central parts of the Milky Way galaxy

Jacco Th. van Loon, G. F. Gilmore, A. Omont +7

Near- and mid-IR survey data from DENIS and ISOGAL are used to investigate the structure and formation history of the inner 10 degree (1.4 kpc) of the Milky Way galaxy. Synthetic b…

The analysis of red giant branch photometry in galaxies

C. M. Frayn, G. F. Gilmore

We present an analysis of the many possible methods for simulating and analysing colour-magnitude diagrams, with application to studies of the field halo stellar populations of res…

Deciphering The Last Major Invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy

Gerard Gilmore, Rosemary F. G. Wyse, John E. Norris

We present first results from a spectroscopic survey of 2000 F/G stars 0.5--5kpc from the Galactic plane, obtained with the 2dF facility on the AAT. These data show the mean rotati…
