Exploring the dynamical evolution of binary stars in multiple-population globular clusters

J. Bruce, E. Vesperini, A. Askar +5

The presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters leads to a complex dynamical environment that significantly influences the evolution of binary stars, which in tur…

Multiband gravitational wave observations of eccentric escaping binary black holes from globular clusters

Yuetong Zhao, Abbas Askar, Youjun Lu +7

Stellar-mass binary black holes (sBBHs) formed in globular clusters (GCs) are promising sources for multiband gravitational wave (GW) observations, particularly with low- and middl…

Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations

Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Arkadiusz Hypki +3

The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. O…

Self-lensing binaries in globular clusters -- predictions for ELT

Grzegorz Wiktorowicz, Matthew Middleton, Mirek Giersz +4

Self-lensing (SL) represents a powerful technique for detecting compact objects in binary systems through gravitational microlensing effects, when a compact companion transits in f…

Efficient black hole seed formation in low metallicity and dense stellar clusters with implications for JWST sources

M. C. Vergara, A. Askar, F. Flammini Dotti +7

Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal young massive clusters (YMCs) as key building blocks of early galaxies. They are not only important constituen…

Formation Channels of Gravitationally Resolvable Double White Dwarf Binaries Inside Globular Clusters

Lucas Hellström, Mirosław Giersz, Abbas Askar +6

Current gravitational wave detectors are sensitive to coalescing black holes and neutron stars. However, double white dwarfs (DWDs) have long been recognized as promising sources o…
