Star cluster survival and compressive tides in Antennae-like mergers
F. Renaud, C. M. Boily, J. -J. Fleck +2
Gravitational tides are widely understood to strip and destroy galactic substructures. In the course of a galaxy merger, however, transient totally compressive tides may develop an…

On time-dependent orbital complexity in gravitational N-body simulations
N. T. Faber, C. M. Boily, S. Portegies Zwart
We implement an efficient method to quantify time-dependent orbital complexity in gravitational -body simulations. The technique, which we name DWaTIM, is based on a discrete wa…

The M/L ratio of massive young clusters
C. M. Boily, A. Lacon, S. Deiters +1
We point out a strong time-evolution of the mass-to-light conversion factor ηcommonly used to estimate masses of dense star clusters from observed cluster radii and stellar velocit…
