Intermediate-mass black hole seeding in galactic nuclei from star cluster migration
Stefano Torniamenti, Nils Hoyer, Nadine Neumayer +2
Nuclear star clusters are one of the most favorable sites to host hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers, potentially bridging the gap from stellar-mass to massive BHs. However, thei…
Direct N-body simulations of rotating and extremely massive Population III star clusters
Kai Wu, Ataru Tanikawa, Francesco Flammini Dotti +6
Aims. We present eight direct N-body simulations with NBODY6++GPU of extremely massive, initially rotating Population III star clusters with 1.01 x 10^5 stars. Methods. Our models…
The Nuclear Star Cluster of M 74: a fossil record of the very early stages of a star-forming galaxy
Francesca Pinna, Nils Hoyer, Jairo Méndez Abreu +13
Nuclear star clusters (NSC) are dense and compact stellar systems, of sizes of few parsecs, located at galactic centers. Their properties and formation mechanisms seem to be tightl…
Efficient black hole seed formation in low metallicity and dense stellar clusters with implications for JWST sources
M. C. Vergara, A. Askar, F. Flammini Dotti +7
Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal young massive clusters (YMCs) as key building blocks of early galaxies. They are not only important constituen…
Rapid formation of a very massive star >50000 and subsequently an IMBH from runaway collisions. Direct N-body and Monte Carlo simulations of dense star clusters
Marcelo C. Vergara, Abbas Askar, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah +15
Context. We present simulations of a massive young star cluster using \textsc{Nbody6++GPU} and \textsc{MOCCA}. The cluster is initially more compact than previously published model…
Massive Star Clusters in the Semi-Analytical Galaxy Formation Model L-Galaxies 2020
Nils Hoyer, Silvia Bonoli, Nate Bastian +7
It is established that there exists a direct link between the formation history of star cluster populations and their host galaxies. However, our lack of understanding of the assem…
Relatively young thick disks in star-forming late-type galaxies
Natascha Sattler, Francesca Pinna, Sebastien Comerón +4
We trace the evolution of eight edge-on star-forming disk galaxies by analyzing stellar population properties of their thin and thick disks. These galaxies have relatively low stel…
Efficiency of black hole formation via collisions in stellar systems: An analysis of data from simulations and observations
M. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, A. Escala +7
This paper explores the theoretical relation between star clusters and black holes within, focusing on the potential role of nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs),…
