Gaia Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +5

At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magni…

MOCCA-SURVEY database I. Accreting white dwarf binary systems in globular clusters -- I. cataclysmic variables -- present-day population

Diogo Belloni, Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar +2

In this paper, which is the first in a series of papers associated with cataclysmic variables and related objects, we introduce the CATUABA code, a numerical machinery written for…

Formation Mechanisms of IMBH in Globular Clusters

Mirek Giersz, Nathan Leigh, Arkadiusz Hypki +2

We very briefly discuss proposed in the literature possible scenarios for intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) formation in globular clusters. We also discuss the results of the MO…

Cataclysmic variables in Globular clusters: First results on the analysis of the MOCCA simulations database

Diogo Belloni, Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar +1

In this first investigation of the MOCCA database with respect to cataclysmic variables, we found that for models with Kroupa initial distributions, considering the standard value…

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…
