Tidal tails around globular clusters: are they good tracers of cluster orbits?
P. Di Matteo, R. Capuzzo Dolcetta, P. Miocchi +1
In the last decade, observational studies have shown the existence of tidal streams in the outer part of many galactic globular clusters. The most striking examples of clusters wit…
Simulations of globular clusters merging in galactic nuclear regions
P. Miocchi, R. Capuzzo Dolcetta, P. Di Matteo
We present the results of detailed N-body simulations regarding the interaction of four massive globular clusters in the central region of a triaxial galaxy. The systems undergo a…
Merging of globular clusters within inner galactic regions. I. Do they survive the tidal interaction?
P. Miocchi, R. Capuzzo Dolcetta, P. Di Matteo +1
The main topic of this paper is the investigation of the modes of interaction of globular clusters (GCs) moving in the inner part of a galaxy. This is tackled by means of high-reso…
