The Relation Between the Globular Cluster Mass and Luminosity Functions

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Simon F. Portegies Zwart

The relation between the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF, dN/dlogL) and globular cluster mass function (GCMF, dN/dlogM) is considered. Due to low-mass star depletion, di…

The Mass-to-Light Ratios of Galactic Globular Clusters

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Steffen Mieske

The observed mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of globular clusters (GCs) are on average ~20% lower than expected from Simple Stellar Population (SSP) models, which only account for the e…

The photometric evolution of star clusters and the preferential loss of low-mass bodies - with an application to globular clusters

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers

To obtain an accurate description of broad-band photometric star cluster evolution, certain effects should be accounted for, such as the preferential loss of low-mass stars and the…

Explaining the mass-to-light ratios of globular clusters

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen

The majority of observed mass-to-light ratios of globular clusters are too low to be explained by `canonical' cluster models, in which dynamical effects are not accounted for. More…

The Age Distributions of Clusters and Field Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud -- Implications for Star Formation Histories

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers

Differences between the inferred star formation histories (SFHs) of star clusters and field stars seem to suggest distinct star formation processes for the two. The Small Magellani…
