Runaway Collisions in Star Clusters
Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Junichiro Makino, Stephen L. W. McMillan +1
We study the occurrence of physical collisions between stars in young and compact star cluster. The calculations are performed on the GRAPE-4 with the starlab software environment…
Fun for Two
S. F. Portegies Zwart, L. R. Yungelson, G. Nelemans
We performed populations synthesis calculations of single stars and binaries and show that binary evolution is extremely important for Galactic astronomy. We review several binary…
Is the Galactic center populated with young star clusters?
Simon F. Portegies Zwart
We study the evolution and observability of young and compact star clusters near the Galactic center, such as the Arches cluster and the Quintuplet. The star clusters are modeled w…
On the origin of the difference between the runaway velocities of the OB-supergiant X-ray Binaries and the Be/X-ray Binaries
Edward P. J. van den Heuvel, Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Dipankar Bhattacharya +1
The recent finding by Chevalier & Ilovaisky (1998) that OB-supergiant X-ray binaries have relatively large runaway velocities whereas Be/X-ray binaries have low runaway velocities,…
