The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: Observational evidence for two distinct populations of massive runaway stars in 30 Doradus
H. Sana, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, V. Hénault-Brunet +17
Two main scenarios have been proposed for origin of massive runaway stars -- dynamical ejection or release from a binary at the first core collapse -- but their relative contributi…
Astronomy in a Low-Carbon Future
Christopher D. Matzner, Nicolas B. Cowan, René Doyon +12
The global climate crisis poses new risks to humanity, and with them, new challenges to the practices of professional astronomy. Avoiding the more catastrophic consequences of glob…
On the black hole content and initial mass function of 47 Tuc
Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Mark Gieles, Jay Strader +3
The globular cluster (GC) 47 Tuc has recently been proposed to host an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) or a population of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). To shed light on its d…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, 2019 edition
The MSE Science Team, Carine Babusiaux, Maria Bergemann +258
(Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unvei…
Mass modelling globular clusters in the Gaia era: a method comparison using mock data from an -body simulation of M4
Vincent Hénault-Brunet, Mark Gieles, Antonio Sollima +5
As we enter a golden age for studies of internal kinematics and dynamics of Galactic globular clusters (GCs), it is timely to assess the performance of modelling techniques in reco…
Linking the rotation of a cluster to the spins of its stars: The kinematics of NGC6791 and NGC6819 in 3D
Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Mark Gieles +2
The physics governing the formation of star clusters is still not entirely understood. One open question concerns the amount of angular momentum that newly formed clusters possess…
