Fast Dynamical Modelling of Milky Way Globular Clusters -- II. Impacts of Black Hole Prescriptions

Nolan Dickson, Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Fotios Fronimos Pouliasis +3

The populations of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in globular clusters (GCs) play a key role in their dynamical evolution, however the mechanisms surrounding their formation and re…

Fast Dynamical Modelling of Milky Way Globular Clusters -- I. Implications for Initial Cluster Densities

Nolan Dickson, Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Fotios Fronimos Pouliasis +2

We infer the initial conditions of Milky Way (MW) globular clusters (GCs) from present-day observations, through the coupling of recently updated rapid cluster evolution models wit…

cBHBd: A fast code for the evolution of tidally limited star clusters and their binary black hole mergers

Fotios Fronimos Pouliasis, Nolan Dickson, Daniel Marín Pina +3

The evolution of star clusters is driven by stellar mass loss, two-body relaxation, and evaporation in the Galactic tidal field. Fast modeling tools are crucial for exploring diver…

UNIONS: The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey

Stephen Gwyn, Alan W. McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +86

The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is a "collaboration of collaborations" that is using the Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope, the Pan-STARRS telescopes,…

Probing populations of dark stellar remnants in the globular clusters 47 Tuc and Terzan 5 using pulsar timing

Peter J. Smith, Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Nolan Dickson +2

We present a new method to combine multimass equilibrium dynamical models and pulsar timing data to constrain the mass distribution and remnant populations of Milky Way globular cl…

Evidence for a bottom-light initial mass function in massive star clusters

Holger Baumgardt, Vincent Henault-Brunet, Nolan Dickson +1

We have determined stellar mass functions of 120 Milky Way globular clusters and massive LMC/SMC star clusters based on a comparison of archival Hubble Space Telescope photometry w…
