Shaping the Globular Cluster Mass Function by Stellar-Dynamical Evaporation
Dean E. McLaughlin, S. Michael Fall
We show that the globular cluster mass function (GCMF) in the Milky Way depends on cluster half-mass density (rho_h) in the sense that the turnover mass M_TO increases with rho_h w…
Dust Depletion and Extinction in a Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow
Sandra Savaglio, S. Michael Fall
We put stringent constraints for the first time on the dust properties in the circumburst medium of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow. This is based on the optical spectrum of GRB…
Metallicity Evolution of Damped Lyman-Alpha Galaxies
Varsha P. Kulkarni, S. Michael Fall
We have reanalyzed the existing data on Zinc abundances in damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorbers to investigate whether their mean metallicity evolves with time. Most models of cosmic ch…
The Unique History of the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri
Oleg Y. Gnedin, HongSheng Zhao, J. E. Pringle +3
Using current observational data and simple dynamical modeling, we demonstrate that Omega Cen is not special among the Galactic globular clusters in its ability to produce and reta…
