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…
The cosmic merger rate density evolution of compact binaries formed in young star clusters and in isolated binaries
Filippo Santoliquido, Michela Mapelli, Yann Bouffanais +5
Next generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe binary black hole (BBH) mergers up to redshift , probing the evolution of compact binary (CB) m…
Binary black holes in young star clusters: the impact of metallicity
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo +9
Young star clusters are the most common birth-place of massive stars and are dynamically active environments. Here, we study the formation of black holes (BHs) and binary black hol…
Dynamics of black hole - neutron star binaries in young star clusters
Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
Young star clusters are likely the most common birthplace of massive stars across cosmic time and influence the formation of compact binaries in several ways. Here, we simulate the…
Evolution of fractality and rotation in embedded star clusters
Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +3
More and more observations indicate that young star clusters could retain imprints of their formation process. In particular, the degree of substructuring and rotation are possibly…
