The state of globular clusters at birth: emergence from the gas-embedded phase
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Mirek Giersz, Jeremy J. Webb +4
In this paper, we discuss the origin of the observed correlation between cluster concentration c and present-day mass function (PDMF) slope α reported by De Marchi, Paresce & Pulon…
Modifying two-body relaxation in N-body systems by gas accretion
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Alison Sills, Torsten Boker
We consider the effects that accretion from the interstellar medium onto the particles of an N-body system has on the rate of two-body relaxation. To this end, we derive an accreti…
The Dynamical Significance of Triple Star Systems in Star Clusters
Nathan W. C. Leigh, Aaron M. Geller
Over the last few decades, observational surveys have revealed that high-order multiple-star systems (e.g. triples, quadruples, etc.), and triples in particular, are common in our…
