The formation, evolution and disruption of star clusters with improved gravitational dynamics in simulated dwarf galaxies
Natalia Lahén, Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab +3
So far, even the highest resolution galaxy formation simulations with gravitational softening have failed to reproduce realistic life cycles of star clusters. We present the first…

The masses, structure and lifetimes of cold clouds in a high-resolution simulation of a low metallicity starburst
Constantina M. Fotopoulou, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén +6
We present an analysis of the cold gas phase in a low metallicity starburst generated in a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation of a gas-rich dwarf galaxy merger as part of th…

FROST-CLUSTERS -- I. Hierarchical star cluster assembly boosts intermediate-mass black hole formation
Antti Rantala, Thorsten Naab, Natalia Lahén
Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters assemble hierarchically from sub-clusters with a universal power-law cluster mass fu…
