Using Machine Learning to Model Stellar Collisions in our Galactic Center
Tristan C. Sand, Sanaea C. Rose, Elena González Prieto +8
Direct collisions in the inner pc of the Galactic center can alter the orbits and properties of stars. The outcome of a collision depends on a number of parameters, including the m…
Formation of Stripped Stars From Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei
C. Gibson, F. Kıroğlu, J. C. Lombardi +7
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. Observed spectra of several TDEs, such as A…
Can slow pulsars in Milky Way globular clusters form via partial recycling?
Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Craig O. Heinke +3
Alongside the population of several hundred radio millisecond pulsars currently known in Milky Way globular clusters, a subset of six slowly spinning pulsars (spin periods $0.3-4\,…
On Binary Formation from Three Initially Unbound Bodies
Dany Atallah, Newlin C. Weatherford, Alessandro A. Trani +1
We explore three-body binary formation (3BBF), the formation of a bound system via gravitational scattering of three initially unbound bodies (3UB), using direct numerical integrat…
A Dynamical Survey of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in 50 Milky Way Globular Clusters
Newlin C. Weatherford, Sourav Chatterjee, Kyle Kremer +1
Recent numerical simulations of globular clusters (GCs) have shown that stellar-mass black holes (BHs) play a fundamental role in driving cluster evolution and shaping their presen…
In Search of the Thermal Eccentricity Distribution
Aaron M. Geller, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Mirek Giersz +2
About a century ago, Jeans (1919) discovered that if binary stars reach a state approximating energy equipartition, for example through many dynamical encounters that exchange ener…
