Searching for the extra-tidal stars of globular clusters using high-dimensional analysis and a core particle spray code

Steffani M. Grondin, Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh +2

Three-body interactions can eject stars from the core of a globular cluster, causing them to enter the Galactic halo as extra-tidal stars. While finding extra-tidal stars is impera…

The Peculiar Radial Distribution of Multiple Populations in the massive globular cluster M80

E. Dalessandro, M. Cadelano, E. Vesperini +7

We present a detailed analysis of the radial distribution of light-element multiple populations (LE-MPs) in the massive and dense globular cluster M80 based on the combination of U…

The Early Evolution of Star Clusters in Compressive and Extensive Tidal Fields

Jeremy J. Webb, Saahil S. Patel, Enrico Vesperini

We present N-body simulations of star clusters that initially evolve within a strong compressive tidal field and then transition into extensive tidal fields of varying strengths. W…

The state of globular clusters at birth II: primordial binaries

Nathan W. C. Leigh, Mirek Giersz, Michael Marks +5

(abridged) In this paper, we constrain the properties of primordial binary populations in Galactic globular clusters using the MOCCA Monte Carlo code for cluster evolution. Our res…

The state of globular clusters at birth: emergence from the gas-embedded phase

Nathan W. C. Leigh, Mirek Giersz, Jeremy J. Webb +4

In this paper, we discuss the origin of the observed correlation between cluster concentration c and present-day mass function (PDMF) slope α reported by De Marchi, Paresce & Pulon…
