Dating N loud AGNs at high redshift: GS3073 as a snapshot of wCen like evolution of a nuclear star cluster

F. D'Antona, P. Ventura, A. F. Marino +8

In this paper we address two major questions raised by recent James Webb Space Telescope observations of the young Universe, namely: 1) what are the seed initial masses, and how ra…

GN-z11: witnessing the formation of second generation stars and an accreting massive black hole in a massive star cluster

F. D'Antona, E. Vesperini, F. Calura +7

We explore the possibility that the N-rich young proto-galaxy GN-z11 recently observed at z=10.6 by the James Webb Space Telescope is the result of the formation of second generati…

Hydrodynamic simulations of an isolated star-forming gas cloud in the Virgo cluster

Francesco Calura, Michele Bellazzini, Annibale D'Ercole

We present a suite of three-dimensional, high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations that follow the evolution of a massive (10^7 M_sun) pressure confined, star-forming neutral gas cl…

High-resolution three-dimensional simulations of gas removal from ultrafaint dwarf galaxies. I. Stellar feedback

Donatella Romano, Francesco Calura, Annibale D'Ercole +1

The faintest Local Group galaxies found lurking in and around the Milky Way halo provide a unique test bed for theories of structure formation and evolution on small scales. Deep S…

Formation of Second Generation Stars in Globular Clusters

F. Calura, A. D'Ercole, E. Vesperini +2

By means of grid-based, 3D hydrodynamical simulations we study the formation of second generation (SG) stars in a young globular cluster (GC) of mass 10^7 Msun, the possible progen…

Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function in Multiple-Population Globular Clusters

Enrico Vesperini, Jongsuk Hong, Jeremy J. Webb +2

We present the results of a survey of N-body simulations aimed at studying the effects of the long-term dynamical evolution on the stellar mass function (MF) of multiple stellar po…
