Exploring the outskirts of globular clusters: the peculiar kinematics of NGC 3201
P. Bianchini, R. Ibata, B. Famaey
The outskirts of globular clusters (GCs) simultaneously retain crucial information about their formation mechanism and the properties of their host galaxy. Thanks to the advent of…
A simple two-component description of energy equipartition and mass segregation for anisotropic globular clusters
Stefano Torniamenti, Giuseppe Bertin, Paolo Bianchini
In weakly collisional stellar systems such as some globular clusters, partial energy equipartition and mass segregation are expected to develop as a result of the cumulative effect…
Globular clusters in the era of precision astrometry
P. Bianchini
The study of the kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) offers the possibility of unveiling their long term evolution and uncovering their yet unknown formation mechanism. Gaia DR2…
A simple two-component description of mass segregation for anisotropic globular clusters
Stefano Torniamenti, Giuseppe Bertin, Paolo Bianchini
As a result of the slow action of two-body encounters, globular clusters develop mass segregation and attain a condition of only partial energy equipartition even in their central,…
Identification of the Long Stellar Stream of the Prototypical Massive Globular Cluster Centauri
Rodrigo Ibata, Michele Bellazzini, Khyati Malhan +2
Omega Centauri is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way, and possesses many peculiar properties. In particular, the cluster contains distinct multiple stellar populati…
