Too shy to spin? Cosmic wallflowers as proto-globular clusters
Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo
We investigate the rotational properties of star-forming clusters at in the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackPS, focusing on two formation channels: clusters for…

Cosmic wallflowers: the circumgalactic origins of isolated ultra-compact star clusters at
Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo +2
The discovery of gravitationally lensed stellar clusters at high redshift with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed extremely compact, massive star-forming systems in…

Wandering intermediate-mass black holes in Milky Way-mass galaxies in cosmological simulations: myth or reality?
Floor van Donkelaar, Lucio Mayer, Pedro R. Capelo +1
In this work, we address the following question: ``can we use the current cosmological simulations to identify intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) and quantify a putative populat…
