Dynamical mass segregation on a very short timescale
R. J. Allison, S. P. Goodwin, R. J. Parker +3
We discuss the observations and theory of star cluster formation to argue that clusters form dynamically cool (subvirial) and with substructure. We then perform an ensemble of simu…

Using the minimum spanning tree to trace mass segregation
Richard J. Allison, Simon P. Goodwin, Richard J. Parker +3
We present a new method to detect and quantify mass segregation in star clusters. It compares the minimum spanning tree (MST) of massive stars with that of random stars. If mass se…
