Direct N-body simulations of rotating and extremely massive Population III star clusters
Kai Wu, Ataru Tanikawa, Francesco Flammini Dotti +6
Aims. We present eight direct N-body simulations with NBODY6++GPU of extremely massive, initially rotating Population III star clusters with 1.01 x 10^5 stars. Methods. Our models…
Modeling Tidal Disruption Events and Compact Object Plunges in Nuclear Star Clusters
Philip Cho, Kai Wu, Francesco Flammini Dotti +2
We study tidal disruption events (TDEs) and compact object inspirals in nuclear star clusters (NSCs) hosting a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), focusing on their role in SMB…
Dynamical evolution of massless particles in star clusters with NBODY6++GPU-MASSLESS: II. The long-term evolution of free-floating comets
Francesco Flammini Dotti, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Kai Wu +5
Context. Comets, asteroids, planetesimals, free-floating planets and brown dwarfs, are continuously injected into the intra-cluster environment after expulsion from their host plan…
Modelling Millisecond Pulsar Populations in Globular Clusters with NBODY6++GPU
Yuzhe Song, Debatri Chattopadhyay, Jarrod Hurley +3
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are neutron stars with spin periods as short as a few milliseconds, formed through mass accretion from companion stars. In the dense environments of glob…
DRAGON-III simulation: modelling million-body globular and nuclear star clusters
Kai Wu, Philip Cho, Rainer Spurzem +3
As a continuation of DRAGON-II, we present the DRAGON-III project, which focuses on the simulations of million-body globular clusters and nuclear clusters over 10 Gyr. We report on…
