Fast Dynamical Modelling of Milky Way Globular Clusters -- I. Implications for Initial Cluster Densities
Nolan Dickson, Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Fotios Fronimos Pouliasis +2
We infer the initial conditions of Milky Way (MW) globular clusters (GCs) from present-day observations, through the coupling of recently updated rapid cluster evolution models wit…

cBHBd: A fast code for the evolution of tidally limited star clusters and their binary black hole mergers
Fotios Fronimos Pouliasis, Nolan Dickson, Daniel MarÃn Pina +3
The evolution of star clusters is driven by stellar mass loss, two-body relaxation, and evaporation in the Galactic tidal field. Fast modeling tools are crucial for exploring diver…

Probing populations of dark stellar remnants in the globular clusters 47 Tuc and Terzan 5 using pulsar timing
Peter J. Smith, Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Nolan Dickson +2
We present a new method to combine multimass equilibrium dynamical models and pulsar timing data to constrain the mass distribution and remnant populations of Milky Way globular cl…
