Dynamical evolution of massless particles in star clusters with NBODY6++GPU-MASSLESS: I. Free-floating MLPs
Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Peter Berczik +2
Context. Low-mass bodies, such as comets, asteroids, planetesimals, and free-floating planets, are continuously injected into the intra-cluster environment after expulsion from the…
The long-term evolution of main-sequence binaries in DRAGON simulations
Qi Shu, Xiaoying Pang, Francesco Flammini Dotti +3
We present a comprehensive investigation of main-sequence (MS) binaries in the DRAGON simulations, which are the first one-million particles direct -body simulations of globular…
The long-term dynamical evolution of disc-fragmented multiple systems in the Solar Neighborhood
Yun Li, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, D. Stamatellos +1
The origin of very low-mass hydrogen-burning stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects at the low-mass end of the initial mass function is not yet fully understood. Gravitati…
The DRAGON simulations: globular cluster evolution with a million stars
Long Wang, Rainer Spurzem, Sverre Aarseth +6
Introducing the DRAGON simulation project, we present direct -body simulations of four massive globular clusters (GCs) with stars and 5 primordial binaries at a high…
The dynamical evolution of low-mass hydrogen-burning stars, brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects formed through disc fragmentation
Yun Li, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, D. Stamatellos +1
Theory and simulations suggest that it is possible to form low-mass hydrogen-burning stars, brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects via disc fragmentation. As disc fragmentation re…
How does a low-mass cut-off in the stellar IMF affect the evolution of young star clusters?
M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, S. P. Goodwin, R. de Grijs +2
We investigate how different stellar initial mass functions (IMFs) can affect the mass loss and survival of star clusters. We find that IMFs with radically different low-mass cut-o…
Gravitational conundrum? Dynamical mass segregation versus disruption of binary stars in dense stellar systems
Richard de Grijs, Chengyuan Li, Yong Zheng +4
Upon their formation, dynamically cool (collapsing) star clusters will, within only a few million years, achieve stellar mass segregation for stars down to a few solar masses, simp…
The Helium Abundance in the Ejecta of U Scorpii
M. P. Maxwell, M. T. Rushton, M. J. Darnley +7
U Scorpii is a recurrent nova which has been observed in outburst on 10 occasions, most recently in 2010. We present near-infrared and optical spectroscopy of the 2010 outburst of…
