Weighing the Darkness II: Astrometric Measurement of Partial Orbits with Gaia
Jeff J. Andrews, Katelyn Breivik, Chirag Chawla +2
Over the course of several years, stars trace helical trajectories as they traverse across the sky due to the combined effects of proper motion and parallax. It is well known that…
Compact Object Modeling in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae
Claire S. Ye, Kyle Kremer, Carl L. Rodriguez +5
The globular cluster 47~Tucanae (47~Tuc) is one of the most massive star clusters in the Milky Way and is exceptionally rich in exotic stellar populations. For several decades it h…
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…
White Dwarf Subsystems in Core-Collapsed Globular Clusters
Kyle Kremer, Nicholas Z. Rui, Newlin C. Weatherford +5
Numerical and observational evidence suggests that massive white dwarfs dominate the innermost regions of core-collapsed globular clusters by both number and total mass. Using NGC…
On the Mass Ratio Distribution of Black Hole Mergers in Triple Systems
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Carl L. Rodriguez, Giacomo Fragione
Observations have shown that the majority of massive stars, progenitors of black holes (BHs), have on average more than one stellar companion. In triple systems, wide inner binarie…
No Black Holes in NGC 6397
Nicholas Z. Rui, Newlin Weatherford, Kyle Kremer +5
Recently, \citet{vitral2021does} detected a central concentration of dark objects in the core-collapsed globular cluster NGC 6397, which could be interpreted as a subcluster of ste…
