Asymmetrical tidal tails of open star clusters: stars crossing their cluster's prah challenge Newtonian gravitation
Pavel Kroupa, Tereza Jerabkova, Ingo Thies +14
After their birth a significant fraction of all stars pass through the tidal threshold (prah) of their cluster of origin into the classical tidal tails. The asymmetry between the n…

The giants that were born swiftly -- Implications of the top-heavy stellar initial mass function on the birth conditions of globular clusters
Henriette Wirth, Pavel Kroupa, Jaroslav Haas +3
Recent results suggest that the initial mass function (IMF) of globular clusters (GCs) is metallicity and density dependent. Here it is studied how this variation affects the initi…
