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…
