Investigating mass segregation process in globular clusters with Blue Straggler Stars: the impact of dark remnants
Emiliano Alessandrini, Barbara Lanzoni, Francesco Rosario Ferraro +2
We present the results of a set of N-body simulations aimed at exploring how the process of mass segregation (as traced by the spatial distribution of blue straggler stars, BSSs) i…
Probing the role of dynamical friction in shaping the BSS radial distribution. I - Semi-analytical models and preliminary N-body simulations
P. Miocchi, M. Pasquato, B. Lanzoni +5
We present semi-analytical models and simplified -body simulations with and particles aimed at probing the role of dynamical friction (DF) in determining the radia…
Dynamical friction in multi-component evolving globular clusters
Emiliano Alessandrini, Barbara Lanzoni, Paolo Miocchi +3
We use the Chandrasekhar formalism and direct N-body simulations to study the effect of dynamical friction on a test object only slightly more massive than the field stars, orbitin…
