Inverting the dynamical evolution of globular clusters: clues to their origin
Mark Gieles, Poul Alexander
Scaling relations for globular clusters (GC) differ from scaling relations for pressure supported (elliptical) galaxies. We show that two-body relaxation is the dominant mechanism…
The initial conditions of observed star clusters - I. Method description and validation
J. T. Pijloo, S. F. Portegies Zwart, P. E. R. Alexander +4
We have coupled a fast, parametrized star cluster evolution code to a Markov Chain Monte Carlo code to determine the distribution of probable initial conditions of observed star cl…
A prescription and fast code for the long-term evolution of star clusters - III. Unequal masses and stellar evolution
Poul Alexander, Mark Gieles, Henny Lamers +1
We present a new version of the fast star cluster evolution code Evolve Me A Cluster of StarS (EMACSS). While previous versions of EMACSS reproduced clusters of single-mass stars,…
A prescription and fast code for the long-term evolution of star clusters - II. Unbalanced and core evolution
Mark Gieles, Poul Alexander, Henny Lamers +1
We introduce version two of the fast star cluster evolution code Evolve Me A Cluster of StarS (EMACSS). The first version (Alexander & Gieles) assumed that cluster evolution is bal…
Constraining the initial conditions of globular clusters using their radius distribution
Poul E. R. Alexander, Mark Gieles
Studies of extra-galactic globular clusters have shown that the peak size of the globular cluster (GC) radius distribution (RD) depends only weakly on galactic environment, and can…
A prescription and fast code for the long-term evolution of star clusters
Poul E. R. Alexander, Mark Gieles
We introduce the star cluster evolution code Evolve Me A Cluster of StarS (EMACSS), a simple yet physically motivated computational model that describes the evolution of some funda…
