Formation and evolution of nuclear star clusters with in-situ star-formation: Nuclear cores and age segregation
Danor Aharon, Hagai B. Perets
Nuclear stellar cluster (NSCs) are known to exist around massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei. Two formation scenarios were suggested for their origin: (1) Build-up of NSC…
Secular Evolution Of Binaries Near Massive Black Holes: Formation of compact binaries, merger/collision products and G2-like objects
Snezana Prodan, Fabio Antonini, Hagai B. Perets
Here we discuss the evolution of binaries around MBH in nuclear stellar clusters. We focus on their secular evolution due to the perturbation by the MBH, while simplistically accou…
Effects of Intermediate Mass Black Holes on Nuclear Star Clusters
Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Hagai B. Perets, Abraham Loeb
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense stellar clusters observed in galactic nuclei, typically hosting a central massive black hole. Here we study the possible formation and evolut…
On the Origin of Young Stars at the Galactic Center
Ann-Marie Madigan, Oliver Pfuhl, Yuri Levin +3
The center of our galaxy is home to a massive black hole, SgrA*, and a nuclear star cluster containing stellar populations of various ages. While the late type stars may be too old…
Age and mass segregation of multiple stellar populations in galactic nuclei and their observational signatures
Hagai B. Perets, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti
Nuclear stellar cluster (NSCs) are known to exist around massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei. They are thought to have formed through in-situ star formation following gas…
