Is the overconcentration of pristine populations in Galactic globular clusters real? An N-body approach to the problem
P. Berczik, O. Sobodar, F. Flammini Dotti +5
Recent observations indicate that in some Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) pristine red giant branch (RGB) stars appear more centrally concentrated than enriched ones. This contra…
Dynamical evolution of Milky Way globular clusters on the cosmological timescale II. Terzan 2, 4, and 5 mass loss and collision tracking
M. Ishchenko, P. Berczik, D. Kuvatova
We investigate the long-term dynamical evolution of Ter2, Ter4, and Ter5, focusing on their mutual interactions, mass-loss behaviour, and survivability in the dense Galactic centre…
Global m=1 slow mode in near-Keplerian self-gravitating torus: applications to stellar nuclear disks and AGN molecular tori
Elena Bannikova, Volodymyr Akhmetov, Peter Berczik +3
Global m=1 asymmetries are observed in many self-gravitating astrophysical systems and are often interpreted as large-scale slow modes in near-Keplerian potentials. Prominent examp…
How our proto-nuclear star cluster formed and grew due to early globular cluster disruption. I. Case of low masses
D. Kuvatova, M. Ishchenko, P. Berczik +3
We investigate the accretion of globular cluster stars on early cosmological timescales through detailed N-body simulations of theoretical GC models to assess the role of this mech…
Globular clusters of the Gaia Enceladus/Sausage -- I. Orbital and dynamical evolution on cosmological timescales
Mykyta Bilodid, Maryna Ishchenko, Peter Berczik
We investigated Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage globular cluster samples and studied their orbital and dynamical evolution over cosmological timescales in external time-variable potential.…
Dynamical evolution timescales for the supermassive black hole system in the galaxy NGC 7727 (Arp 222)
P. Berczik, M. Ishchenko, O. Veles +5
Context. A dual active galactic nucleus candidate with a separation of only 500 pc was recently found in NGC 7727. According to the hierarchical merging scenario, such objects woul…
