Pulsars and Millisecond Pulsars III: Tracing Compact Object Dynamics in Globular Clusters with NBODY6++GPU
M. Rah, R. Spurzem, F. Flammini Dotti +1
Neutron stars in globular clusters follow complex evolutionary pathways shaped by binary interactions, mass transfer, and dynamical exchanges. Direct N-body simulations such as NBO…
Modeling Tidal Disruption Events and Compact Object Plunges in Nuclear Star Clusters
Philip Cho, Kai Wu, Francesco Flammini Dotti +2
We study tidal disruption events (TDEs) and compact object inspirals in nuclear star clusters (NSCs) hosting a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), focusing on their role in SMB…
Pulsars and Millisecond Pulsars II: Deep diving into the Evolutionary Mechanisms
Maria Rah, Rainer Spurzem, Francesco Flammini Dotti +1
This second paper in our series investigates the evolutionary mechanisms that shape pulsars and millisecond pulsars (MSPs) across different astrophysical environments. We focus on…
From Nbody1 to Nbody7: the Growth of Sverres Industry
Rainer Spurzem
From NBODY1 to NBODY6 : The Growth of an Industry is the title of a 1999 invited review by Sverre Aarseth, for Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP). I too…
Modelling Millisecond Pulsar Populations in Globular Clusters with NBODY6++GPU
Yuzhe Song, Debatri Chattopadhyay, Jarrod Hurley +3
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are neutron stars with spin periods as short as a few milliseconds, formed through mass accretion from companion stars. In the dense environments of glob…
