A quasi-star is born: formation and evolution of accreting quasi-stars as a pathway to Little Red Dots at non-zero metallicity

J. Roman-Garza, C. Charbonnel, D. Schaerer +5

The recently discovered Little Red Dots identified by the James Webb Space Telescope are compact high-redshift sources whose properties have motivated models involving black holes…

Massive stellar cannibals: How stellar mergers drive mass-loss in extremely massive stars

J. Roman-Garza, T. Fragos, C. Charbonnel +3

It has been theorized that the formation of extremely massive and supermassive stars () could plausibly be the outcome of stellar mergers in low metallicity (…

Collision-induced mass loss and mass gain on an extremely massive star. An analytical approach and a static proto-globular cluster test-case

Laura Ramírez-Galeano, Corinne Charbonnel, Tassos Fragos +3

The objective of this study is to analytically explore mass loss and gain induced by stellar collisions on a gas-accreting extremely massive star (aEMS, 10^3 <= M/M_sun <= 10^4). W…

Globular cluster formation from inertial inflows: accreting extremely massive stars as the origin of abundance anomalies

Mark Gieles, Paolo Padoan, Corinne Charbonnel +2

We use the inertial-inflow model of massive star formation to describe the formation of globular clusters (GCs) in turbulent molecular clouds. A key aspect of this model is that th…

Using Al to detect ongoing self-enrichment in young massive star clusters

Katarzyna Nowak, Martin G. H. Krause, Thomas Siegert +5

Self-enrichment is one of the leading explanations for chemical anomalies in globular clusters. In this scenario, various candidate polluter stars have been proposed to eject gas w…

Star clusters near and far; tracing star formation across cosmic time

Angela Adamo, Peter Zeidler, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +6

Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, i.e.\ detai…

The molecular cloud lifecycle

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni +6

Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and their stellar offspring are the building blocks of galaxies. The physical characteristics of GMCs and their evolution are tightly connected to gal…
