New candidate hypervelocity red clump stars in the inner Galactic bulge
A. Luna, T. Marchetti, M. Rejkuba +5
We search for high-velocity stars in the inner region of the Galactic bulge using a selected sample of red clump stars. Some of those stars might be considered hypervelocity stars…
A catalogue of Galactic GEMS: Globular cluster Extra-tidal Mock Stars
Steffani M. Grondin, Jeremy J. Webb, James M. M. Lane +2
This work presents the Globular cluster Extra-tidal Mock Star (GEMS) catalogue of extra-tidal stars and binaries created via three-body dynamical encounters in globular cluster cor…
The dominant mechanism(s) for populating the outskirts of star clusters with neutron star binaries
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Claire S. Ye, Steffani M. Grondin +3
It has been argued that heavy binaries composed of neutron stars (NSs) and millisecond pulsars (MSPs) can end up in the outskirts of star clusters via an interaction with a massive…
The thermodynamics of stellar multiplicity: dynamical evolution of binary star populations in dense stellar environments
N. W. C. Leigh, N. C. Stone, J. J. Webb +1
We recently derived, using the density-of-states approximation, analytic distribution functions for the outcomes of direct single-binary scatterings (Stone & Leigh 2019). Using the…
Stellar collisions in flattened and rotating Pop. III star clusters
M. Z. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. C. N. Boekholt +4
Fragmentation often occurs in disk-like structures, both in the early Universe and in the context of present-day star formation. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are astrophysical…
Formation of supermassive black hole seeds in nuclear star clusters via gas accretion and runaway collisions
Arpan Das, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Nathan W. C. Leigh +1
More than two hundred supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of masses have been discovered at . One promising pathway for the formation o…
