Does IRS13 require an intermediate-mass black hole?
Václav Pavlík, Vladimír Karas, Florian Peißker +2
We investigate whether the Galactic-centre association IRS13 requires an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) to remain bound. Using high-precision -body calculations of IRS13-li…
Dynamics of star associations in an SMBH-IMBH system: The case of IRS13 in the Galactic centre
Václav Pavlík, Vladimír Karas, Bhavana Bhat +2
Context: The existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) still poses challenges to theoretical and observational astronomers. Several candidates have been proposed, includin…
Inference of black-hole mass fraction in Galactic globular clusters. A multi-dimensional approach to break the initial-condition degeneracies
A. Della Croce, F. I. Aros, E. Vesperini +4
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are suggested to host many stellar-mass black holes (BHs) at their centers, thus resulting in ideal testbeds for BH formation and retention theorie…
New Parameters for Star Cluster Dynamics: the role of clusters initial conditions
Bhavana Bhat, Barbara Lanzoni, Enrico Vesperini +4
We recently introduced three new parameters that describe the shape of the normalized cumulative radial distribution (nCRD) of the innermost stars in globular clusters and trace th…
New parameters for star cluster dynamics: the effect of primordial binaries and dark remnants
Bhavana Bhat, Barbara Lanzoni, Francesco R. Ferraro +1
By studying the normalized cumulative radial distribution (nCRD) of the stars in the central region of a Monte Carlo-simulated globular cluster, we recently defined three parameter…
Searching for new observational signatures of the dynamical evolution of star clusters
B. Bhat, B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro +1
We present a numerical study, based on Monte Carlo simulations, aimed at defining new empirical parameters measurable from observations and able to trace the different phases of st…
