Black holes and core expansion in massive star clusters
A. D. Mackey, M. I. Wilkinson, M. B. Davies +1
We present the results from realistic N-body modelling of massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. We have computed eight simulations with N ~ 10^5 particles; six of these w…
Search and analysis of blue straggler stars in open clusters
F. De Marchi, F. De Angeli, G. Piotto +2
Aims: This paper presents a new homogeneous catalogue of blue straggler stars (BSS) in Galactic open clusters. Methods: Photometric data for 216 clusters were collected from the li…
Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in External Galaxies
A. R. King, M. B. Davies, M. J. Ward +2
We investigate models for the class of ultraluminous non-nuclear X-ray sources (ULXs) seen in a number of galaxies and probably associated with star-forming regions. Models where t…
Close Approach during Hard Binary--Binary Scattering
D. Bacon, S. Sigurdsson, M. B. Davies
We report on an extensive series of numerical experiments of binary--binary scattering, analysing the cross--section for close approach during interactions for a range of hard bina…
The Binary Zoo: The Calculation of Production Rates of Binaries Through 2+1 Encounters in Globular Clusters
M. B. Davies
In studying encounters between binaries and single stars, one is interested in three classes of events: exchanges of stars, hardening of the original binary by a third star, and th…
A Stellar Audit: The Computation of Encounter Rates for 47 Tucanae and omega Centauri
M. B. Davies, W. Benz
Using King-Mitchie Models, we compute encounter rates between the various stellar species in the globular clusters Cen, and 47 Tuc. We also compute event rates for encounters b…
