Revisiting the Evidence for Double Sequences of Blue Straggler Stars in Globular Clusters
Gourav Kumawat, Craig O. Heinke, Alison Sills +5
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are believed to form through mass transfer in binary systems or stellar collisions. The reported presence of double BSS sequences in some globular clust…
Massive interacting binaries as an enrichment source for multiple populations in star clusters
Michelle Nguyen, Alison Sills
We present a suite of binary evolution models with massive primaries (10 M 40 M) and periods and mass ratios chosen such that the systems undergo non-cons…
Dynamics of Star Cluster Formation: Mergers in Gas Rich Environments
Jeremy Karam, Alison Sills
We perform high resolution simulations of forming star clusters as they merge inside giant molecular clouds (GMCs) using hydrodynamics coupled to N-body dynamics to simultaneously…
Galactic properties that favour star cluster formation: a statistical view
Samantha C. Berek, Marta Reina-Campos, Gwendolyn Eadie +1
The presence or absence of star clusters in galaxies, and the properties of star cluster populations compared to their host galaxy properties, are important observables for validat…
Initial sizes of star clusters: implications for cluster dissolution during galaxy evolution
Marta Reina-Campos, Alison Sills, Godefroy Bichon
Massive star clusters are often used as tracers of galaxy formation and assembly. In order to do so, we must understand their properties at formation, and how those properties chan…
Fast rotating Blue Stragglers prefer loose clusters
Francesco R. Ferraro, Alessio Mucciarelli, Barbara Lanzoni +9
Blue stragglers are anomalously luminous core hydrogen-burning stars formed through mass-transfer in binary/triple systems and stellar collisions. Their physical and evolutionary p…
