Gaia May Detect Hundreds of Well-characterised Stellar Black Holes
Chirag Chawla, Sourav Chatterjee, Katelyn Breivik +3
Detection of black holes (BHs) with detached luminous companions (LCs) can be instrumental in connecting the BH properties with their progenitors' since the latter can be inferred…
Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Monte Carlo Code
Carl L. Rodriguez, Newlin C. Weatherford, Scott C. Coughlin +10
We describe the public release of the Cluster Monte Carlo Code (CMC) a parallel, star-by-star -body code for modeling dense star clusters. CMC treats collisional stellar dynamic…
White Dwarf Subsystems in Core-Collapsed Globular Clusters
Kyle Kremer, Nicholas Z. Rui, Newlin C. Weatherford +5
Numerical and observational evidence suggests that massive white dwarfs dominate the innermost regions of core-collapsed globular clusters by both number and total mass. Using NGC…
No Black Holes in NGC 6397
Nicholas Z. Rui, Newlin Weatherford, Kyle Kremer +5
Recently, \citet{vitral2021does} detected a central concentration of dark objects in the core-collapsed globular cluster NGC 6397, which could be interpreted as a subcluster of ste…
Matching Globular Cluster Models to Observations
Nicholas Z. Rui, Kyle Kremer, Newlin C. Weatherford +4
As ancient, gravitationally bound stellar populations, globular clusters are abundant, vibrant laboratories characterized by high frequencies of dynamical interactions coupled to c…
Black Hole Mergers from Star Clusters with Top-Heavy Initial Mass Functions
Newlin C. Weatherford, Giacomo Fragione, Kyle Kremer +4
Recent observations of globular clusters (GCs) provide evidence that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) may not be universal, suggesting specifically that the IMF grows increa…
