The "bubbly" interstellar medium as origin for the inhomogeneous internal metallicity distributions in large disk galaxies

Benjamin Metha, Michele Trenti, Colin Norman

Resolved metallicity studies of local disk galaxies have revealed that their interstellar media (ISMs) are far from chemically homogeneous, displaying significant ( dex)…

Dynamically Formed Black Hole Binaries: In-Cluster Versus Ejected Mergers

Oliver Anagnostou, Michele Trenti, Andrew Melatos

The growing number of black hole binary (BHB) mergers detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have the potential to enable an unprecedented chara…

Correlation Between Mass Segregation and Structural Concentration in Relaxed Stellar Clusters

Ruggero de Vita, Michele Trenti, Morgan MacLeod

The level of mass segregation in the core of globular clusters has been previously proposed as a potential indicator of the dynamical constituents of the system, such as presence o…

Wandering off the centre: a characterization of the random motion of intermediate-mass black holes in star clusters

Ruggero de Vita, Michele Trenti, Morgan MacLeod

Despite recent observational efforts, unequivocal signs for the presence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in globular clusters (GCs) have not been found yet. Especially whe…

Prospects for detection of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters using integrated-light spectroscopy

Ruggero de Vita, Michele Trenti, Paolo Bianchini +3

The detection of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in Galactic globular clusters (GCs) has so far been controversial. In order to characterize the effectiveness of integrated-l…

No Energy Equipartition in Globular Clusters

M. Trenti, R. van der Marel

It is widely believed that globular clusters evolve over many two-body relaxation times toward a state of energy equipartition, so that velocity dispersion scales with stellar mass…
