Globular Cluster System evolution in early type galaxies
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta
Globular clusters (GCs) constitute a system which is evolving because of various interactions with the galactic environment. Evolution may be the explanation of many observed featu…
Elliptical galaxy nuclei activity powered by infalling globular clusters
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta
Globular cluster systems evolve, in galaxies, due to internal and external dynamics and tidal phenomena. One of the causes of evolution, dynamical friction, is responsible for the…
Dynamical friction on Globular Clusters in core-triaxial galaxies: is it a cause of massive black hole accretion?
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta, A. Vicari
The present work extends and deepens previous examinations of the evolution of globular cluster orbits in elliptical galaxies, by means of numerical integrations of a wide set of o…
Force Evaluation in Particle Methods for Self-Gravitating Multi-Phase Systems
R. Capuzzo-Dolcetta, R. Di Lisio, P. Miocchi
A modern approach to the evolution of a mixed (stars and gas) self-gravitating system is the fully Lagrangian particle approach. The gaseous (particle) phase differs from the compa…
