The influence of residual gas expulsion on the evolution of the Galactic globular cluster system and the origin of the Population II halo

H. Baumgardt, P. Kroupa, G. Parmentier

We present new results on the evolution of the mass function of the globular cluster system of the Milky Way, taking the effect of residual gas expulsion into account. We assume th…

The poorly constrained cluster disruption time-scale in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Genevieve Parmentier, Richard de Grijs

We use Monte-Carlo simulations, combined with homogeneously determined age and mass distributions based on multi-wavelength photometry, to constrain the cluster formation history a…

The Origin of the Gaussian Initial Mass Function of Old Globular Cluster Systems

Geneviève Parmentier, Gerard Gilmore

[Abridged] Evidence favouring a Gaussian initial globular cluster mass function has accumulated over recent years. We show that an approximately Gaussian mass function is naturally…

The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): first data release

M. Steinmetz, T. Zwitter, A. Siebert +51

We present the first data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities and stellar atmosphere parameters (temper…

New Light on the Initial Mass Function of the Galactic Halo Globular Clusters

Genevieve Parmentier, Gerard Gilmore

We present new constraints on the initial mass spectrum of the Galactic Old Halo globular clusters. This has remained poorly-known so far, as both an initial power-law mass spectru…

On the origin of the radial mass density profile of the Galactic halo Globular Cluster System

Genevieve Parmentier, Eva K. Grebel

We investigate what may be the origin of the presently observed spatial distribution of the mass of the Galactic Old Halo globular cluster system. We propose its radial mass densit…
