On the nature of the S stars in the Galactic Center
Jeremy Goodman, Bohdan Paczynski
Davies and King have suggested that the bright stars observed on short-period orbits about Sgr A* (``S stars'') are old, low-mass stripped AGB stars rather than young, high-mass ma…
The Paradox of the Scale-Free Disks
Jeremy Goodman, Wyn Evans
Scale-free disks have no preferred length or time scale. The question has been raised whether such disks have a continuum of unstable linear modes or perhaps no unstable modes at a…
Binaries in Globular Clusters
S. L. W. McMillan, C. Pryor, E. S. Phinney
Binary stars play a critical role in determining both the dynamical evolution and the observational appearance of globular star clusters. We present a summary of three talks presen…
Influence of the Stellar Mass Function on the Evaporation Rate of Tidally Limited Postcollapse Globular Clusters
Hyung Mok Lee, Jeremy Goodman
We study the rate of escape of stars (``evaporation'') from tidally-limited postcollapse globular clusters having a power-law distribution of stellar masses. We use a multi-mass Fo…
