Observational Bias and Young Massive Cluster Characterisation II. Can Gaia accurately observe young clusters and associations?

Anne S. M. Buckner, Tim Naylor, Clare L. Dobbs +2

Observations of clusters suffer from issues such as completeness, projection effects, resolving individual stars and extinction. As such, how accurate are measurements and conclusi…

Bringing Stellar Evolution & Feedback Together: Summary of proposals from the Lorentz Center Workshop, 2022

Sam Geen, Poojan Agrawal, Paul A. Crowther +34

Stars strongly impact their environment, and shape structures on all scales throughout the universe, in a process known as ``feedback''. Due to the complexity of both stellar evolu…

Using Molecular Gas Observations to Guide Initial Conditions for Star Cluster Simulations

Alison Sills, Steven Rieder, Anne S. M. Buckner +3

The earliest evolution of star clusters involves a phase of co-existence of both newly-formed stars, and the gas from which they are forming. Observations of the gas in such region…

The early evolution of young massive clusters: The kinematic history of NGC6611 / M16

Mitchel Stoop, Lex Kaper, Alex de Koter +3

In the first few Myr the massive stars dynamically interact, produce runaways and affect the initial binary population. Observing and interpreting the dynamics of young massive clu…

Revisiting Common Envelope Evolution -- A New Semi-Analytic Model for N-body and Population Synthesis Codes

Alessandro Alberto Trani, Steven Rieder, Ataru Tanikawa +5

We present a novel way of modeling common envelope evolution in binary and few-body systems. We consider the common envelope inspiral as driven by a drag force with a power-law dep…
