Connecting Cores and Black Hole Dynamics Across Scales: From Globular Clusters to Massive Ellipticals
Kyle Kremer, Newlin C. Weatherford, Philip F. Hopkins +2
The centers of massive elliptical galaxies exhibit a wide range in density profiles, from central cusps to resolved cores with order kiloparsec sizes. The cored ellipticals have be…
Breaking Down the : Toward Modeling and Understanding Globular Cluster Stellar Streams in a Fully Cosmological Context
Nondh Panithanpaisal, Robyn E. Sanderson, Carl L. Rodriguez +7
Next-generation surveys are expected to uncover thousands of globular cluster (GC) stellar streams, motivating the need for a theoretical framework that produces realistic GC strea…
Kinematics of Stellar Streams from Globular Clusters Depend on Black Hole Retention and Star Mass: A Selection Effect for Dark Matter Inference
Newlin C. Weatherford, Ana Bonaca
Velocity dispersion () in stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) is sensitive to heating by Galactic substructure, including dark matter (DM) subhalos. Recent studies have…
A Million Three-body Binaries Caught by Gaia
Dany Atallah, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Newlin C. Weatherford
Gaia observations have revealed over a million stellar binary candidates within ~1 kpc of the Sun, predominantly characterized by orbital separations >10^3 AU and eccentricities >0…
IMBH Progenitors from Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters
Elena González Prieto, Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione +2
Very massive stars (VMSs) formed via a sequence of stellar collisions in dense star clusters have been proposed as the progenitors of massive black hole seeds. VMSs could indeed co…
On Binary Formation from Three Initially Unbound Bodies
Dany Atallah, Newlin C. Weatherford, Alessandro A. Trani +1
We explore three-body binary formation (3BBF), the formation of a bound system via gravitational scattering of three initially unbound bodies (3UB), using direct numerical integrat…
