The origin of the Milky Way globular clusters
Florent Renaud, Oscar Agertz, Mark Gieles
We present a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy used to explore the formation and evolution of star clusters. We investigate in particular the origin of the…
High-redshift major mergers weakly enhance star formation
J. Fensch, F. Renaud, F. Bournaud +11
Galaxy mergers are believed to trigger strong starbursts. This is well assessed by observations in the local Universe. However the efficiency of this mechanism has poorly been test…
Star formation triggered by galaxy interactions in modified gravity
Florent Renaud, Benoit Famaey, Pavel Kroupa
Together with interstellar turbulence, gravitation is one key player in star formation. It acts both at galactic scales in the assembly of gas into dense clouds, and inside those s…
The impact of stellar feedback on the density and velocity structure of the interstellar medium
Kearn Grisdale, Oscar Agertz, Alessandro B. Romeo +2
We study the impact of stellar feedback in shaping the density and velocity structure of neutral hydrogen (HI) in disc galaxies. For our analysis, we carry out pc resolut…
New insights on the formation of nuclear star clusters
Nicolas Guillard, Eric Emsellem, Florent Renaud
Nuclear Clusters (NCs) are common stellar systems in the centres of galaxies. Yet, the physical mechanisms involved in their formation are still debated. Using a parsec-resolution…
If it does not kill them, it makes them stronger: collisional evolution of star clusters with tidal shocks
Mark Gieles, Florent Renaud
The radii of young (<100 Myr) star clusters correlate only weakly with their masses. This shallow relation has been used to argue that impulsive tidal perturbations, or `shocks', b…
