Formation of Globular Cluster Systems II: Impact of the Cutoff of the Cluster Initial Mass Function
Nick Choksi, Oleg Y. Gnedin
Observations of young star clusters reveal that the high-mass end of the cluster initial mass function (CIMF) deviates from a pure power-law and instead truncates exponentially. We…
The star clusters that make black hole binaries across cosmic time
Nick Choksi, Marta Volonteri, Monica Colpi +2
We explore the properties of dense star clusters that are likely to be the nurseries of stellar black holes pairing in close binaries. We combine a cosmological model of globular c…
The formation and hierarchical assembly of globular cluster populations
Kareem El-Badry, Eliot Quataert, Daniel R. Weisz +2
We use a semi-analytic model for globular cluster (GC) formation built on dark matter merger trees to explore the relative role of formation physics and hierarchical assembly in de…
Formation of Globular Cluster Systems: From Dwarf Galaxies to Giants
Nick Choksi, Oleg Gnedin, Hui Li
Globular cluster (GC) systems around galaxies of a vast mass range show remarkably simple scaling relations. The combined mass of all GCs is a constant fraction of the total galaxy…
