Current data on the globular cluster Palomar 14 are not inconsistent with MOND
Gianfranco Gentile, Benoit Famaey, Garry W. Angus +1
Certain types of globular clusters have the very important property that the predictions for their kinematics in the Newtonian and modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) contexts are d…
The origin of very wide binary systems
M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, S. P. Goodwin, Richard J. Parker +3
The majority of stars in the Galactic field and halo are part of binary or multiple systems. A significant fraction of these systems have orbital separations in excess of thousands…
Constraining the initial mass function of stars in the Galactic Centre
Ulf Loeckmann, Holger Baumgardt, Pavel Kroupa
(abridged) Here we discuss the question whether the extreme circumstances in the centre of the Milky Way may be the reason for a significant variation of the IMF. By means of stell…
Stellar-mass black holes in star clusters: implications for gravitational wave radiation
Sambaran Banerjee, Holger Baumgardt, Pavel Kroupa
We study the dynamics of stellar-mass black holes (BH) in star clusters with particular attention to the formation of BH-BH binaries, which are interesting as sources of gravitatio…
Tidal Tails of Star Clusters
A. H. W. Kuepper, P. Kroupa, H. Baumgardt +1
Based on recent findings of a formation mechanism of substructure in tidal tails by Kuepper, Macleod & Heggie (2008) we investigate a more comprehensive set of N-body models of sta…
The fundamental gas depletion and stellar-mass buildup times of star forming galaxies
Jan Pflamm-Altenburg, Pavel Kroupa
Stars do not form continuously distributed over star forming galaxies. They form in star clusters of different masses. This nature of clustered star formation is taken into account…
