Merging Binary Stars and the magnetic white dwarfs
Gordon P. Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, Christopher A. Tout +2
A magnetic dynamo driven by differential rotation generated when stars merge can explain strong fields in certain classes of magnetic stars, including the high field magnetic white…
Tracking Cluster Debris (TraCD)- I. Dissolution of clusters and searching the solar cradle
Guido R. I. Moyano Loyola, Chris Flynn, Jarrod R. Hurley +1
The capability to reconstruct dissolved stellar systems in dynamical and chemical space is a key factor in improving our understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way. Here we co…
Dynamical Interactions Make Hot Jupiters in Open Star Clusters
Michael M. Shara, Jarrod R. Hurley, Rosemary A. Mardling
Explaining the origin and evolution of exoplanetary "hot Jupiters" remains a significant challenge. One possible mechanism for their production is planet-planet interactions, which…
Reconstructing the initial mass function of disc-bulge Galactic globular clusters from N-body simulations
L. J. Rossi, J. R. Hurley
We propose an evolutionary model to describe the dynamical evolution of star cluster systems in tidal fields, in which we calibrated the parametric equations defining the model by…
The Effects of Orbital Inclination on the Scale Size and Evolution of Tidally Filling Star Clusters
Jeremy J. Webb, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +1
We have performed N-body simulations of tidally filling star clusters with a range of orbits in a Milky Way-like potential to study the effects of orbital inclination and eccentric…
The Effect of Orbital Eccentricity on the Dynamical Evolution of Star Clusters
Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan Leigh, Alison Sills +2
We use N-body simulations to explore the influence of orbital eccentricity on the dynamical evolution of star clusters. Specifically we compare the mass loss rate, velocity dispers…
