Young Star Clusters Dominate the Production of Detached Black Hole-Star Binaries
Ugo Niccolò Di Carlo, Poojan Agrawal, Carl L. Rodriguez +1
The recent discovery of two detached black hole-star (BH-star) binaries from Gaia's third data release has sparkled interest in understanding the formation mechanisms of these syst…
Runaway and Hypervelocity Stars from Compact Object Encounters in Globular Clusters
Tomás Cabrera, Carl L. Rodriguez
The dense environments in the cores of globular clusters (GCs) facilitate many strong dynamical encounters among stellar objects. These encounters have been shown capable of ejecti…
Evolution of Massive Black Hole Binaries in Collisionally Relaxed Nuclear Star Clusters -- Impact of Mass Segregation
Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Qirong Zhu, Go Ogiya +2
Massive Black Hole (MBH) binaries are considered to be one of the most important sources of Gravitational Waves (GW) that can be detected by GW detectors like LISA. However, there…
Great Balls of FIRE II: The evolution and destruction of star clusters across cosmic time in a Milky Way-mass galaxy
Carl L. Rodriguez, Zachary Hafen, Michael Y. Grudić +4
The current generation of galaxy simulations can resolve individual giant molecular clouds, the progenitors of dense star clusters. But the evolutionary fate of these young massive…
Great Balls of FIRE I: The formation of star clusters across cosmic time in a Milky Way-mass galaxy
Michael Y. Grudić, Zachary Hafen, Carl L. Rodriguez +5
The properties of young star clusters formed within a galaxy are thought to vary in different interstellar medium (ISM) conditions, but the details of this mapping from galactic to…
Modeling Dense Star Clusters in the Milky Way and Beyond with the Cluster Monte Carlo Code
Carl L. Rodriguez, Newlin C. Weatherford, Scott C. Coughlin +10
We describe the public release of the Cluster Monte Carlo Code (CMC) a parallel, star-by-star -body code for modeling dense star clusters. CMC treats collisional stellar dynamic…
