Unveiling Gargantua: A new search strategy for the most massive central cluster black holes
Michael Brockamp, Holger Baumgardt, Silke Britzen +1
We aim to unveil the most massive central cluster black holes in the universe. We present a new search strategy which is based on a black hole mass gain sensitive 'calorimeter' and…
How tidal erosion has shaped the relation between globular cluster specific frequency and galaxy luminosity
Steffen Mieske, Andreas Kuepper, Michael Brockamp
We quantify to what extent tidal erosion of globular clusters (GCs) has contributed to the observed u-shaped relation between GC specific frequencies S_N and host galaxy luminosity…
Erosion of Globular Cluster Systems: The Influence of Radial Anisotropy, Central Black Holes and Dynamical Friction
Michael Brockamp, Andreas H. W. Kuepper, Ingo Thies +2
We present the adaptable MUESLI code for investigating dynamics and erosion processes of globular clusters (GCs) in galaxies. MUESLI follows the orbits of individual clusters and a…
Tidal disruption rate of stars by supermassive black holes obtained by direct N-body simulations
M. Brockamp, H. Baumgardt, P. Kroupa
The disruption rate of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is calculated numerically with a modified version of Aarseth's NBODY6 code. The initial stellar distribution around…
