Exploring the dynamical evolution of binary stars in multiple-population globular clusters

J. Bruce, E. Vesperini, A. Askar +5

The presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters leads to a complex dynamical environment that significantly influences the evolution of binary stars, which in tur…

Multiband gravitational wave observations of eccentric escaping binary black holes from globular clusters

Yuetong Zhao, Abbas Askar, Youjun Lu +7

Stellar-mass binary black holes (sBBHs) formed in globular clusters (GCs) are promising sources for multiband gravitational wave (GW) observations, particularly with low- and middl…

Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations

Mirek Giersz, Abbas Askar, Arkadiusz Hypki +3

The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. O…

Formation Channels of Gravitationally Resolvable Double White Dwarf Binaries Inside Globular Clusters

Lucas Hellström, Mirosław Giersz, Abbas Askar +6

Current gravitational wave detectors are sensitive to coalescing black holes and neutron stars. However, double white dwarfs (DWDs) have long been recognized as promising sources o…

Rapid formation of a very massive star >50000 and subsequently an IMBH from runaway collisions. Direct N-body and Monte Carlo simulations of dense star clusters

Marcelo C. Vergara, Abbas Askar, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah +15

Context. We present simulations of a massive young star cluster using \textsc{Nbody6++GPU} and \textsc{MOCCA}. The cluster is initially more compact than previously published model…

Multiple stellar populations in MOCCA globular cluster models: Transient spatial over-concentration of pristine red giant stars driven by strong dynamical encounters

M. Giersz, A. Askar, A Hypki +3

Recent findings show that, in some Milky Way globular clusters (GCs), pristine red giant branch (RGB) stars are more centrally concentrated than enriched RGB stars. This contradict…
