Is there a Size Difference between Red and Blue Globular Clusters?
J. M. B. Downing
Blue (metal-poor) globular clusters are observed to have half-light radii that are ~20% larger than their red (metal-rich) counterparts. The origin of this enhancement is not clear…
Relativistic Binaries in Globular Clusters
Matthew J. Benacquista, Jonathan M. B. Downing
Galactic globular clusters are old, dense star systems typically containing 10\super{4}--10\super{7} stars. As an old population of stars, globular clusters contain many collapsed…
Compact Binaries in Star Clusters II - Escapers and Detection Rates
J. M. B. Downing, M. J. Benacquista, M. Giersz +1
We use a self-consistent Monte Carlo treatment of stellar dynamics to investigate black hole binaries that are dynamically ejected from globular clusters to determine if they will…
Compact Binaries in Star Clusters I - Black Hole Binaries Inside Globular Clusters
J. M. B. Downing, M. J. Benacquista, M. Giersz +1
We study the compact binary population in star clusters, focusing on binaries containing black holes, using a self-consistent Monte Carlo treatment of dynamics and full stellar evo…
The Dynamical Implications of Multiple Stellar Formation Events in Galactic Globular Clusters
Jonathan M. B. Downing, Alison Sills
Various galactic globular clusters display abundance anomalies that affect the morphology of their colour-magnitude diagrams. In this paper we consider the possibility of helium en…
