On the rotation of nuclear star clusters formed by cluster-inspirals
Athanasia Tsatsi, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Glenn van de Ven +3
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are commonly observed in the centres of most galactic nuclei, including our own Milky Way. While their study can reveal important information about the…
MOCCA-SURVEY Database I: Is NGC 6535 a Dark Star Cluster Harboring an IMBH?
Abbas Askar, Paolo Bianchini, Ruggero de Vita +3
We describe the dynamical evolution of a unique type of dark star cluster model in which the majority of the cluster mass at Hubble time is dominated by an intermediate-mass black…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motion (HSTPROMO) catalogs of Galactic globular clusters. IV. Kinematic profiles and average masses of blue straggler stars
A. T. Baldwin, L. L. Watkins, R. P. van der Marel +3
We make use of the Hubble Space Telescope proper-motion catalogs derived by Bellini et al. (2014) to produce the first radial velocity-dispersion profiles sigma(R) for blue straggl…
The effect of unresolved binaries on globular cluster proper-motion dispersion profiles
P. Bianchini, M. A. Norris, G. van de Ven +5
High-precision kinematic studies of globular clusters require an accurate knowledge of all possible sources of contamination. Amongst other sources, binary stars can introduce syst…
A novel look at energy equipartition in globular clusters
P. Bianchini, G. van de Ven, M. A. Norris +2
Two-body interactions play a major role in shaping the structural and dynamical properties of globular clusters (GCs) over their long-term evolution. In particular, GCs evolve towa…
