Dynamical Evolution and Spatial Mixing of Multiple Population Globular Clusters
Enrico Vesperini, Stephen L. W. McMillan, Francesca D'Antona +1
In this paper we study the long-term dynamical evolution of multiple-population clusters, focusing on the evolution of the spatial distributions of the first- (FG) and second-gener…
Rapid Mass Segregation in Massive Star Clusters
Stephen McMillan, Enrico Vesperini, Nicholas Kruczek
Several dynamical scenarios have been proposed that can lead to prompt mass segregation on the crossing time scale of a young cluster. They generally rely on cool and/or clumpy ini…
Space-Based UV/Optical Wide-Field Imaging and Spectroscopy: Near-Field Cosmology and Galaxy Evolution Using Globular Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
Paul Goudfrooij, Jean Brodie, Rupali Chandar +7
Star formation plays a central role in the evolution of galaxies and of the Universe as a whole. Studies of star-forming regions in the local universe have shown that star formatio…
Models for the lithium abundances of multiple populations in globular clusters and the possible role of the Big Bang lithium
F. D'Antona, A. D'Ercole, R. Carini +2
Globular cluster stars show chemical abundance patterns typical of hot-CNO processing. Lithium is easily destroyed by proton capture in stellar environments, so its abundance may b…
The role of super-asymptotic giant branch ejecta in the abundance patterns of multiple populations in globular clusters
Annibale D'Ercole, Francesca D'Antona, Roberta Carini +2
In order to account for the chemical composition of a stellar second generation (SG), Globular Clusters (GCs) evolution models based on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) scenario s…
