The white dwarf population of open clusters and their tidal tails. Tracers of contamination and stellar interactions

Vikrant V. Jadhav, Pavel Kroupa, David R. Miller +3

Recent Gaia studies have identified numerous open clusters (OCs) & tidal tail catalogues, enabling systematic searches for white dwarfs (WDs) associated with clusters & their exten…

Stellar rotation and binaries in open clusters with Gaia DR3

Elena Pancino, Elisabetta Reggiani, Silvia Marinoni +14

Stellar rotation is a fundamental ingredient in shaping the evolution of stars and it can also be used to trace past stellar interactions. Yet, systematic studies of stellar rotati…

Statistical study for binary star evolution in dense embedded clusters

Wenjie Wu, Pavel Kroupa, Vikrant V. Jadhav

Context: The dynamical evolution of binary populations in embedded star clusters shapes the statistical properties of binaries observed in the Galactic field. Accurately modelling…

Cosmic Threads: Interlinking the Stellar Initial Mass Function from Star-Birth to Galaxies

Tereza Jerabkova, Donatella Romano, Pavel Kroupa +19

The stellar initial mass function (sIMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses formed in a single star formation event in a molecular cloud clump. It is fundamental to astro…

Tidal Tails of Nearby Open Clusters. II. A Review of Simulated Properties and the Reliability of Observational Catalogues

Vikrant V. Jadhav, Dhanraj Risbud, Pavel Kroupa +1

Context: Recent studies using Gaia data have reported tidal tail detections for tens to hundreds of open clusters. However, a comprehensive assessment of the reliability & complete…

Tidal tails in open clusters: Morphology, binary fraction, dynamics, and rotation

Ira Sharma, Vikrant V. Jadhav, Annapurni Subramaniam +1

Context: This research presents unsupervised machine learning and statistical methods to identify and analyze tidal tails in open star clusters using data from the Gaia DR3 catalog…

Tidal tails of nearby open clusters I. Mapping with Gaia DR3

Dhanraj Risbud, Vikrant V. Jadhav, Pavel Kroupa

Context: Tidal tails of open clusters are the result of stellar evaporation from the cluster through the Galactic potential and internal dynamics. With the recent availability of h…

Open star clusters and their asymmetrical tidal tails

Pavel Kroupa, Jan Pflamm-Altenburg, Sergij Mazurenko +4

Stars that evaporate from their star cluster by the energy equipartition process end up either in a leading or a trailing tidal tail. In Newtonian gravitation and for open star clu…
