Binary black holes in young star clusters: the impact of metallicity
Ugo N. Di Carlo, Michela Mapelli, Nicola Giacobbo +9
Young star clusters are the most common birth-place of massive stars and are dynamically active environments. Here, we study the formation of black holes (BHs) and binary black hol…
Dynamics of black hole - neutron star binaries in young star clusters
Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +5
Young star clusters are likely the most common birthplace of massive stars across cosmic time and influence the formation of compact binaries in several ways. Here, we simulate the…
Evolution of fractality and rotation in embedded star clusters
Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli, Ugo N. Di Carlo +3
More and more observations indicate that young star clusters could retain imprints of their formation process. In particular, the degree of substructuring and rotation are possibly…
A common origin for the circumnuclear disc and the nearby molecular clouds in the Galactic Centre
Alessandro Ballone, Michela Mapelli, Alessandro Alberto Trani
The origin of the molecular clouds orbiting SgrA* is one of the most debated questions about our Galactic Centre. Here, we present the hydrodynamic simulation of a molecular cloud…
The G2+G2t complex as a fast and massive outflow?
A. Ballone, M. Schartmann, A. Burkert +8
Observations of the gas component of the cloud G2 in the Galactic Center have revealed its connection to a tail (G2t) lying on the same orbit. More recent studies indicate a connec…
