Dynamics of binary black holes in low-mass young star clusters
Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. di Carlo +5
Young star clusters are dynamically active stellar systems and are a common birthplace for massive stars. Low-mass star clusters ( M) are more numerous than…
Intermediate mass black holes from stellar mergers in young star clusters
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Mario Pasquato +8
Intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in the mass range bridge the gap between stellar black holes (BHs) and supermassive BHs. Here, we investigate…
GW190521 formation via three-body encounters in young massive star clusters
Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
GW190521 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger observed to date, and its primary component lies in the pair-instability (PI) mass gap. Here, we investigate the formati…
The impact of binaries on the evolution of star clusters from turbulent molecular clouds
Stefano Torniamenti, Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli +5
Most of massive stars form in binary or higher-order systems in clumpy, sub-structured clusters. In the very first phases of their life, these stars are expected to interact with t…
From hydrodynamics to N-body simulations of star clusters: mergers and rotation
Alessandro Ballone, Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli +5
We present a new method to obtain more realistic initial conditions for N-body simulations of young star clusters. We start from the outputs of hydrodynamical simulations of molecu…
Effect of binarity in star cluster dynamical mass determination
Sara Rastello, Giovanni Carraro, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta
In this paper we explore the effects that the presence of a fraction of binary stars has in the determination of a star cluster mass via the virial theorem. To reach this aim in an…
