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…
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…
Hierarchical black hole mergers in young, globular and nuclear star clusters: the effect of metallicity, spin and cluster properties
Michela Mapelli, Marco Dall'Amico, Yann Bouffanais +8
We explore hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers in nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs) and young star clusters (YSCs), accounting for both original and dynamicall…
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…
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…
