Stellar Collisions and Black Hole Formation in Dense Star Clusters
Stephen McMillan, Simon Portegies Zwart
Close encounters and physical collisions between stars in young dense clusters may lead to the formation of very massive stars and black holes via runaway merging. We examine criti…
Simulating young star clusters with primordial binaries
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan
We simulate a cluster of 144179 stars including 13107 primordial hard binaries (10% of the total number of single stars and binary centers of mass), using direct integration of the…
Life and Death of Young Dense Star Clusters near the Galactic Center
Simon Portegies Zwart, Stephen McMillan, Holger Baumgardt
We discuss the structural change and degree of mass segregation of young dense star clusters within about 100pc of the Galactic center. In our calculations, which are performed wit…
Star Cluster Simulations Including Stellar Evolution
Stephen L. W. McMillan
The past few years have seen dramatic improvements in the scope and realism of star cluster simulations. Accurate treatments of stellar evolution, coupled with robust descriptions…
Theory in a Virtual Observatory
Peter Teuben, Dave DeYoung, Piet Hut +5
During the last couple of years, observers have started to make plans for a Virtual Observatory, as a federation of existing data bases, connected through levels of software that e…
Panel Discussion on Observing Simulations and Simulating Observations
Piet Hut, Adrienne Cool, Charles Bailyn +3
N-body simulations of star cluster evolution have reached a high degree of realism, by incorporating more and more elements of stellar dynamics, stellar evolution, and hydrodynamic…
